Year 10 and 11 Students

Subjects and programs for next year should now have been entered into the web preferences portal. We hope students will be happy with their choices and experience success in 2023.

Year 12 Students

Careers Pathways Post Aitken interviews for Year 12 students have commenced. Students, please remember to bring your USI to your appointment if you are planning to make a VTAC application. We are very lucky to have Ms Jocelyn Kurrle assisting us with the Year 12 interviews this year. Jos is a very experienced Careers Practitioner from our local Careers network. Some of our Year 12 students will meet her over the remaining weeks in this term. The VTAC Information evening held on 8 August was very well attended and we are most appreciative of all who logged in to the Zoom event.

Open Days

These have been occurring over the last few weekends and will continue until the end of the month. We strongly believe there is no substitute for actually getting onto a campus and feeling the vibe through your skin. Open Days allow students the opportunity to explore tertiary campuses, investigate courses of interest and ask questions of academic staff and current students whilst having fun.

Keep your eyes open also for virtual opportunities which may include Experience Days and information webinars. You can sign up to be on the emailing distribution lists for tertiary institutions which are of interest to you and that will ensure you don’t miss out on hearing about these events.
