Welcome
In this edition of MY FUTURE Careers News, we are about to enter our End of Year Exam period. It is vitally important that our Year 11 students perform to the best of their ability, as increasingly some universities use Year 11 results to help determine Early Entry offers to courses in 2027.
I recently spoke to our Year 11 cohort about the importance of the exam period in their Wellbeing lesson and explained the importance of contributing to community whether it be here at school or in their general community such as sporting clubs etc. This may enable them to qualify for the Aspire Community Impact Program at La Trobe University. This scheme rewards students for their community contribution by lowering the entry ATAR to all La Trobe courses. I encourage all students to apply in Year 12. Additionally, other universities such as RMIT, Swinburne, ACU and VU also have programs that can provide an early offer to university.
In addition, this edition includes information on
Information sessions for a range of tertiary institutions
Change of Preference Events for Year 12 students
Learning adaptability skills
Choosing a SBAT that compliments your plans
The Essential Guide to Leaving School
Work experience for students interested in law, politics and justice
