Year 12 Pathways
All Year 12 students were interviewed about their pathways post Aitken by the end of Term 3. Students who submitted a VTAC application are able to make changes to their preferences until 31 October and then again once their exams are completed in mid November until midday on Wednesday 19 December. Careers staff will be available to assist students until 19 December and a pack of information with end of year procedures will be sent to all Year 12 students later this term.
Students who submitted a VTAC Application are reminded to pay their VTAC processing fee. This is a one off fee which allows multiple changes of preferences if so desired and the receipt of a printed ATAR statement.
Congratulations to the many students who received an early conditional offer through the La Trobe Aspire program, the ACU Community Achiever's program and VU Guaranteed. To accept these offers, students need to attain the required minimum ATAR and list the course as their highest eligible preference by close of Change of Preference.
