What’s Happening in Careers?

Year 10

This week, the Year 10s began creating their personal Career e-Portfolio. The e-Portfolio will become a digital record of their achievements, experiences, and career planning, helping them prepare for post-school pathways such as university, TAFE, apprenticeships, or employment.

Year 11

We wish the Year 11s all the best for their exams and Workplace Learning. We hope they are all coping well and enjoying the challenge these tasks demand.

Year 12

ATAR exams have now finished for our Year 12s. Below is the latest information from TISC about the ATAR results.

YEAR 12 RESULTS ONLINE 

All 2025 WACE students with at least one scaled score, will be able to access their TISC Universities Admission Advice Letter information (including scaled scores, ATAR and eligibility information for universities for the 2026 admission year) via the TISC website at www.tisc.edu.au.

Results will be available from Friday 19 December 2025. The TISC office will be open from 10.00am – 1.00pm on Saturday 20 December to answer enquiries. TISC advises all 2025 Year 12 students to log in to TISCOnline in the week leading up to results release, to ensure their user ID and password is working.

• If you have not logged in to TISCOnline before, use the default password (details found here). 
• If you have logged in to TISCOnline before, you can use the Forgotten Password function. The password reset instructions will go to the email address with which they registered – this should not be a school email address.

UNIVERSITY OFFER DATES

The first major round of offers for Year 12 students will be available from Wednesday 24 December 2025 with another major round of offers available on Tuesday 20 January 2026. The time between offer rounds is an opportunity to seek advice from TISC and/or the universities if an applicant did not receive an offer or is unsure about their options.

Students may change preferences as many times as they wish, subject to closing dates.

PREDICTED ATARS AND EARLY OFFERS

TISC would like to remind schools, parents and students that the ATAR calculator on the TISC website should not be used to predict future ATARs. Simply adding together a student’s four best school-based subject scores (not the scaled scores issued by TISC) is not a valid predictor of a student’s likely TEA and should not be used to predict an ATAR.

TISC is continually working with universities and other stakeholders to improve communication around the early offer process; feedback on how we can improve this to benefit students is always welcome.

UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS - DEADLINES 

The application deadline for a small number of courses has passed, but applications for most courses are still open at www.tisc.edu.au, and will remain open until 20 December 2025 (for Main Round offers) and 14 January 2026 (for Second Round offers). 

TISC encourages applicants to complete their applications as soon as possible to give themselves maximum flexibility when results are released.

UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS – DOCUMENT SUBMISSIONS 

Year 12 students may need to upload documents. Check this page, particularly the headings “Supporting documents” and “Extra submissions”. 

Applicants who were completing a Certificate IV or Diploma qualification during Year 12 should upload the qualification award certificate (not a printout of results) to their TISC application as soon as they receive it, to ensure timely assessment of their application. If the qualification was completed through a WA TAFE or Fremantle Education Centre, TISC can obtain confirmation of completion directly from the provider, however the student is still encouraged to upload the qualification to prevent any delays.

If the qualification was completed through any other Registered Training Organisation (RTO), the student must upload the correct documentation, or they may miss out on an offer. Applicants who have selected Experience Based Entry as a method of entry should ensure they have uploaded all relevant documents required by the university.

UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER (USI) 

Students applying for university through TISC need to provide their USI as part of their application. Applicants can create or retrieve their USI at www.usi.gov.au – once created, it stays with students for life and will maintain a register of all vocational education and training undertaken in Australia.

Commonwealth Teaching Scholarships (CTS) 

Applications for Round 3 of the Commonwealth Teaching Scholarships (CTS) Program are now open. People who aspire to be a teacher are encouraged to apply for this scholarship! The CTS Program offers up to $40,000 to new undergraduate teaching students and up to $20,000 to new postgraduate teaching students.
