Year 11 VCE VM Mock interviews

Our Year 11 VCE VM Work Related Skills students completed mock interviews as part of their final assessment.  Several industry professionals conducted the interviews for students, giving them a true 'interview' experience. It was positive to see students engaged in the interviews and putting their learning into practice. Well done and congratulations to all students involved and thank you to all the industry professionals who came along and supported our students.

TFN

A tax file number (TFN) is your personal reference number in the tax and superannuation systems.

Your TFN is: 

• a unique number (usually 9 digits).
• an important part of your identity.
• yours for life – you keep your TFN even if you change jobs or name, move interstate or go overseas.

Students commencing part time work will need to have a TFN. To apply visit; https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Tax-file-number/Apply-for-a-TFN/
