Sheree Budworth's heart is set on art
 Sheree Budworth dreams of being a professional artist.Her ultimate goal is to have exhibitions in art galleries.Sheree, 18, joined thousands of Maitland students in receiving an offer in the main round of the Universities Admissions Centre’s course offers on the 18th January. Her preferences include a fine arts degree as well as several food technology and nutrition courses at the University of Newcastle.
“Ultimately I want to be a professional artist but to pay for materials to make my artworks I need money, and some of the options in food technology jobs allow you to work for several months and then have a few months off,” she said.
“That’s why I’ve chosen food technology courses so I can have a flexible job which will give me the time to be able to devote to my art.
”The Maitland Grossmann High School student was pleased with her HSC results and said the wait until the release of main round offers was lengthy.“I’m a bit nervous about what offer I will get, but I think it is a little less nerve racking than the HSC results because you are not in constant contact with yourclass mates and hearing what they have got and then comparing it to your result,” she said.
Main round offers will be available from www.uac.edu.au.
Students who are pleased with their offer will then have the chance to accept the offer online. Those who do not receive what they want can change their preferences and wait for another offer in the late round on Wednesday, February 1.

Up until 2011, Sam Convery was the most successful engineering student with a top three result some years ago, however, this was eclipses by Benjamin Fraser who achieved a result which was second in the state.
The whole class achieved admirably as evidenced by the class average being 8.54 marks above the state.
