Student results will be released on Friday 15 December. Preshil staff will be available by phone or to meet in person on Friday 15 December to discuss results or options to change your preferences. In addition we will be available via email or in person, by appointment, from Monday 18 December until the deadline for changing preferences, being 12 noon on Wednesday 20 December.
Reminder about changing tertiary preferences
Some important tips for changing your course preferences
1: Always list courses in order of preference!
For more information on how offers work, see Offers, enrolment and deferment.
2: Remember some courses can't be added after certain dates!
3: Don't delete and re-add courses, use the re-ordering arrows!
4: If you receive an offer move it down the list to open up possibilities for other preferences.
5: Lastly, if you need help or guidance please contact Bronte to make an appointment bronte.howell@preshil.vic.edu.au
Reminder about accessing your results
All Year 12s, and those Year 11 students who may have sat Unit 3/4 exams, are reminded that the study scores come out on Friday 15 December 2017. To access these results students can:
- Log on to Results and ATAR anytime from 7am Friday 15 December 2017 AEDST. This service is free and operates 24 hours a day.
- Type in your VCAA student number and, where a PIN is required, type in the first four digits of your birth date, eg. 22 August would be 2208.
It should be pointed out that the School is not able to release results or ATARs to parents or other parties as the results are the property of the student. Students and parents are certainly encouraged to make an appointment to discuss possible changes to preferences and other issues arising out of results. Students should get their preferences right to maximise their chances for Round 1 offers by Wednesday 20 December.
The ATAR statement from VTAC and the results from VCAA will be in the mail any time from Monday 18 December 2017.
