Year 12 Pathways Update
As our Year 12 students move into the final weeks of their secondary schooling, many have submitted VTAC applications, Equity Schemes applications, and scholarship applications. Whether your plans involve university, TAFE, an apprenticeship, traineeship, employment, or a gap year, it is wonderful to see so many students actively planning for life beyond school.
While application deadlines have passed, students can still apply through VTAC, with late fees now applicable.
The coming weeks are an ideal time to continue exploring options, attending university and TAFE information sessions, researching alternative pathways, and considering any opportunities that may arise through early offers. Remember that preferences can be updated during the Change of Preference period, so there is still time to carefully consider your choices and ensure they reflect your goals and interests.
Mrs Tanya Notman and Mr Tim Knowles are available to assist students and families with pathway planning, Change of Preference advice, course selection, and alternative entry options. If you would like support or have questions about your next steps, please reach out.
For now, your focus should be on finishing the year with confidence and giving your best effort in your exams. Every pathway is different, and success comes in many forms. We are proud of the commitment, resilience, and determination shown by our Year 12 students throughout the year and look forward to seeing where their journeys take them.
Best wishes to all Year 12 students as they prepare for their final assessments and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
Accessing VCE Results and ATAR
Key Information
VCE results released 7am Thu 10 Dec.
Registration required prior to release date.
Results/ATAR available until until 5pm Mon 14 Dec.
All Year 12 students and Year 11 Early Start students who will be receiving a Study Score or ATAR in 2026 must register online before results are released.
To register and access your results, visit: VCE Results and ATAR 2026
You’ll need your VCAA student number to register. If you’re unsure of this number, please contact Mrs Notman or Mr Knowles.
For more information about this process, please refer to Year 12 Guide
Once results are released, students can view them either:
Online via the VCE Results and ATAR website, or
Through the VCE Results and ATAR app (available for download on mobile devices).
Make sure you complete your registration before results day so you can log in smoothly when results are published. Results will only be available on the VCE Results and ATAR website and app until 5pm on Monday 14 December 2026, so students will need to check before this date.
For more information, including frequently asked questions, visit:Results and ATAR FAQs
How do I access my results online?
You can access your results via the VCE Results and ATAR Service website or the Results and ATAR app. The app is available from Google Play or the App Store.
You will need your VCAA student number and personal details to register. You will select a secure password when registering, which you will use to access your results on Thursday 10 December 2026.
Register early
You will need to register prior to results being released. Registration opens in August and we encourage you to complete registration by 5pm Wednesday 9 December to ensure the fastest access to your VCE Results and ATAR when they are released.
You only need to register once. The password you create can then be used for both the internet service and mobile app.
Please note: your VTAC account is separate to your registration for the VCE Results and ATAR Service.
Can I speak to someone about my results?
Absolutely. VTAC and VCAA run a joint Post-Results and ATAR Service (PRAS) every year. The service runs for several days after results are released.
You can contact the service by:
Visiting pras.resultsandatar.vic.edu.au
Calling (03) 9637 3877 or the toll-free number 1800 653 080
Emailing pras@education.vic.gov.au
