The NSW Chapter hosted ArchiCareers Day on 11 September, with 100 high school students in attendance. The day’s program included informative presentations from Tim Horton of the NSW Architects Registration Board and the university schools of architecture and providing an informative platform for students intrested in the profession. The ArchiCareers Day is an important event in the calendar, showcasing careers in architecture. A special thank you to our sponsors, UTS, University of Newcastle, University of Sydney and UNSW who were on hand to answer questions from the students regarding their study programs.

The Sydney Architecture Festival is less than two weeks away, from 2-5 October. Make sure you save the dates and secure your tickets to the program, as events are selling out fast! The full Festival event program can be found at www.sydneyarchitecturefestival.org.

And finally, we are taking Chapter Council on the road this week to Bathurst, where the NSW Country Division Conference We’ve Come so Far, So Far will be held on 23 and 24 September. The Conference program has an excellent line-up of speakers, a trade show and full social program for regional architects to connect. The full conference program can be found on our website under NSW Chapter events.
