Student Services : Careers 

As students plan for courses and transitions into 2023, Term 3 is a very busy time for Careers & VET.  Thanks for those students and families who took advantage of the extra appointment times in the first week of the school holidays.  This has taken some pressure off, as Year 8-11 students rush to finalise their subject selection preferences for 2023. 

A number of students and families also found time last weekend to attend the Melbourne Career Expo at the Convention centre.  This was another great opportunity to explore future options and discuss all things careers.   

At this time of year it is especially important for students and families to take the time to stay informed and fully understand choices and pathways.  The newsletter is one platform, and students receive additional notifications via Teams about events specifically relating to them.  Parents can also access careers information, the weekly Career News and support through Compass – via School Documentation. 

YEAR 12 TERTIARY APPLICATION PROCESS 

Students will be briefed on the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) application process during their Connect session on Tuesday 26th of July.  A recording will also be made for parents, which will be available by the end of July.   

Applications for VTAC will open on Monday August 1st, and we will be asking all Year 12 students to complete their transition plan and VTAC application by Friday 16th September (end of term three).   

Students who are applying for Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) should note that a summary of this process will be included in the VTAC briefing.
