Year 12 – Pathway support for 2026

Year 12 students should be viewing the Year 12 Teams (Careers) platform and Compass emails where the following information has been sent.

VTAC

VTAC support is still available during the remainder of the year by coming to C3s office and arranging a time/day.

Do not forget to keep looking at the Checklist requirements on your VTAC Home Page and complete these. This includes a Personal Statement to be completed by 5/12/25 at 5:00pm. Even if your course or courses don’t require one now, if you add a course during the change of preference period and the course requires a Personal Statement, you won't be able to create one at the later date.
The Checklist will be where the Nursing English Language Proficiency form is, where CASPER, UCAT and other pre-requisite requirements are listed.
You must also keep checking your VTAC 'inbox' and your personal email provided to VTAC for any other requirements or information VTAC needs to advise you of.
Finalise your eight VTAC preferences by 5th December, 5:00pm.
Ensure you have at least one VTAC preference with a year 12 pass as the pre-requisite. You know you will receive an offer then.
Pay by 31/10/25 at 5:00pm, if you have not already paid for VTAC.
Key Dates for offers and change of preference periods as well as information about how the process works.

support students until the close of the school year.

Years 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 – Careers Information

Year 11 VCE VM Students – Structured Workplace Learning Recognition (SWLR)

All year 11 VCE VM students will be undertaking their Structured Workplace Learning on Monday 10 November to Friday 19 November, 2025. If you do not have a placement, you must see Mr Hobba and Mrs McKeon as you will be required to attend school.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)

VET in 2026

All senior students have now concluded their course counselling sessions and where required selected a VET (Certificate II or III course in schools) as part of their educational/year level program. To be enrolled in a VET course by the school, all students must have a USI number. Please provide this number to Amanda Komen at Amanda.Komen@education.vic.gov.au or Amy.Crawley@education.vic.gov.au as soon as possible, so that every effort can be made to secure your child’s place in their preferred course.

To obtain a USI – see link below: -

https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-your-usi

Note, the school cannot enrol a student into a VET course without a USI, which means you may miss obtaining a place in a course you would like without providing the VET office with your USI.

If you know you have requested to go to a Chisholm VETDSS course for next year, please ensure you check your emails for any online VETASSESS and enrolment requirements you must complete. Any queries, please contact Ms. Crawley or Ms. Komen (Amy.Crawley@education.vic.gov.au or Amanda.Komen@education.vic.gov.au).
