Year 12

This is a busy time for all Year 12 students as they prepare for the end of the year. I would like to remind all students, regardless of their pathway that the careers department is available to assist with resumes, job search skills, VTAC applications and further study options, as well as general pathway advice. Good Luck to all Year 12 students.

Reminders

Please set up your VTAC application as soon as possible. Timely applications are due on September 28th at 5pm. The cost of your application is $55.
