Year 12 Fairway is a year-long cohort support program designed for high-achieving students who aspire to go to university. The program offers a range of on-campus and online events, with expenses covered by UWA, to build a sense of belonging and offer support to students in their final year of secondary study.
Within the Fairway program, there are crucial in-person events held at UWA's Crawley campus. These include a residential program, support to attend Open Day in March, and a year-end celebration. In addition, during terms 1, 2, and 3, we offer online engagements to provide information and support for your final year of school and transition to university studies.
For parents and guardians of Fairway students there will be opportunities to engage in-person and online in 2026, where you can meet the UWA team and learn how we can help you support your students on their university journey.

FAIRWAY YEAR 12 STUDENT, 2023Fairway means assistance into university and further study. Being regional, information is limited about university and it feels like you are going in blind. Fairway means a pathway into somewhere that seems very daunting for many students, but it’s made that move seem more exciting as ever, especially as it has allowed me to make so many connections with other students who will be studying here too.
