Dear Parents and Students

Thanks to all the Year 12 parents who braved the windy conditions and attended the VTAC information night this week. There have been a number of changes to the VTAC process once again so it was great to have the opportunity to cover these. It was also great to have a representative from Monash university come along to discuss the range of scholarships and other opportunities available for current Year 12 students at Monash University.

Below is a list of dates related to the VTAC process this year that were covered at the information night. The most important date approaching is the JMSS date for students to complete all applications by. This date is set so that we can check that all details have been filled out properly and that all applications are completed prior to the October tests so that students can study for these without interruption.

Dates related to VTAC Tertiary Selection for 2020

13th September : JMSS date for VTAC applications, SEAS applications and Reference Requests. 

30th September to 4th October:  (second week of holidays) October Tests (Year 12 mock exams).
