SHINE University Preparation (SHINE UniPrep) gives your child more than university entry.
Why We Moved from Our Previous Programme to UniPrep
Three years of experience taught us what our students really need.
WHAT WE LEARNT
- 3-year overlapped significantly with students’ Year 12 commitments.
- The timing of the Year 12 created unnecessary pressure at a critical stage.
- Student performance and feedback from students showed where it could be more focused.
- Academic preparation must support student well-being.
OUR RESPONSE
A More Focused 2-year UniPrep Programme designed around the realities of our students’ final school years.
Less overlap. Greater focus. Better preparation for university.

The Transition to University is Bigger then an Examination

- have a strong English and academic foundations — important only the beginning.

SHINE UniPrep is designed around the student your child needs to become.
