Year 11 Students
Careers and senior Brookhill staff are looking forward to an excursion to RMIT (City campus) with the Year 11 students on Tuesday 21 November. This is an all-day excursion where students will travel unaccompanied (usually by train) to RMIT and will be met on-site by Aitken staff. Students will explore a dual-sector tertiary campus, learn about the transition to tertiary education, attend presentations, hopefully kickstart their career research in preparation for Year 12 and practice the things they might do and the questions they might ask if they were at an Open Day. Permission slips will be sent home shortly and their prompt return would be very much appreciated.
Year 12 Students
As a matter of routine, never ignore your VTAC emails. Always check just in case there is something you need to attend to in order to facilitate your selection or enrolment.
If relevant, please ensure you complete, by the due date, any additional selection tasks (such as an audition, folio presentation, interview, CASPer, etc) that may be required for a course(s) on your preference list. These dates are not negotiable. Check the information on your Careers interview notes page, emails sent to you by VTAC and the course website for more information about requirements and deadlines. If selection tasks are not completed, you are ineligible for selection into that course(s).
Most students have now paid their VTAC processing fee. If you have not already done so, don’t forget to pay by the start of December (but hopefully sooner rather than later and then it can be crossed off your list of things to do).
Note that students planning to enrol in university or TAFE courses for 2024 must have a Tax File Number (TFN) by the time of enrolment.
We wish all our Year 12 VCE students success as they complete their academic year and move into a study period before their final exams.
Careers staff remain available for consultation until after results are released in December and also during the Change of Preference period.
Information about the VTAC timeline regarding Results, Change of Preference and Offers across the December/January period will be mailed home to students in November in a special Change of Preference pack.
Should students or their parents have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Careers staff.
