Tertiary Information Service  (TIS)

Last week our Year 12 students attended the annual Tertiary Information Service (TIS) event along with Year 12 students from neighbouring secondary colleges. The information provided by TIS focuses on VTAC and transitioning to further education after finishing school. This is an opportunity for students to speak with university and other further education representatives. Students attended a short session that explained how VTAC works and then spent about 30 minutes speaking with stallholders. Our Year 11 students also had an opportunity to speak with these providers.
