2022 Young Achievers Early Offer Program
We are happy to advise that Year 12 students who have already applied through our Early Offer Program are starting to receive their offers now. There is still time for your Year 12 students to submit an application for our Early Offer Program, which provides Year 12 students with the opportunity to secure a place at university before they sit their final WACE exams. This reduces the pressure on them during this often stressful time, leaving them free to focus on doing their best in their exams.
The program takes into consideration students’ personal qualities, their motivation to study, as well as details of their achievements and community involvement, to reflect Notre Dame’s holistic approach to supporting students and inspiring learning. Students are required to provide copies of available Year 11 and Year 12 reports, and are also encouraged to include supporting documents and written recommendations along with their application.
Applications are now open
Applications are now openfor the Early Offer Program and will close on 1 September 2021. For Early Offer, students apply directly to the University.

Year 12 students and their parents are invited to our exclusive Early Offer Session. This session is the best opportunity to find out more about the benefits of receiving an Early Offer, how to apply, and to hear current students and Notre Dame alumni speak about their experiences.
Early Offer Information Sessions
In late August, Notre Dame student advisers will be hosting 1-on-1 sessions for Year 12 students and their parents to progress their Early Offer applications.
