Careers

Year 12 students wishing to apply to University have now completed their applications through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). This has required students to submit up to eight course preferences in priority order. They have received counselling on different pathways that can take them to their dream courses should they not receive the required pre-requisites. This should ensure students are well prepared when they receive their results on December 12 and the first round of offers on December 21.

There are a number of events taking place at Universities in the next few months that may be of interest to our students. These are run independently from the school. We do ask that students advise the school of their participation by sending me an email.
