Testimonials

My first experience with surveying was at the Maths in Surveying day that I attended during a school excursion in year 10. From there, TrySurveying helped me get work experience which confirmed my passion for Surveying. After high school I worked as a Survey Assistant with the company I did my work experience with, while studying Surveying at university. 6 years after attending the Maths in Surveying day, I am a semester away from completing my Bachelor of Surveying at the University of Newcastle, with a graduate job at the company I completed the initial work experience with all those years ago!
Dylan CollinsonMaths in Surveying
he day ended up being very interesting and informative. We had the chance to talk with some students studying surveying and qualified surveyors. The excursion was very interesting, and I was able to learn a lot about what a career in surveying involves and the education opportunities and paths.
JoshuaStudent Year 10
Our class of 19 students went to the Maths in Surveying excursion. We had the privilege of seeing and experimenting with the surveying equipment. We used compasses to measure angles from the treillage and education towers, as well as looking at the history of surveying and the surveying equipment used in the past. All of these made us very grateful for modern day technology and our scientific calculators. It was a very interesting, educational, and insightful experience for us all to see how surveying works and the experience the use of mathematics in real life.
Caela Student Year 10
Maths in Surveying Day, to sum the day up, it was an experience of learning the art of measurement and a chance to represent our school in an event other than sports. It would be safe to say our assumptions of the day were wrong as the words “math excursion” did not provoke a positive reaction at first but by the end, many of the students described the day as an enjoyable, insightful, and fascinating experience.
JoanneStudent Year 10
On Diversity Day I found out the kinds of jobs that surveyors deal with, the equipment they deal with and what it means to be a surveyor. An idea of what the job offered and whether or not it was my line of work.
Student Year 10Diversity Day 2021
I took this program in hopes of extending my ideas for potential career paths in the future. The activities and talks were really informative and fun to listen to and engage with, I thank all the kind mentors and instructors on the day, it was a really fun excursion.
Student Year 11 Diversity Day 2021
At lunch, we heard from the NSW Surveyor General and other Surveyors, about the diverse career options for surveyors.  The pasts of some of the panel speakers were all about not knowing about the opportunities of surveying until much later in their career paths, which is when they decided to pursue it. I found that rather interesting.
Student Year 11CEDiversity Day 2021O
It was good to learn the different fields that surveying is able to take us, also the different techniques and instruments needed to be successful in surveying.
