The VTAC Application Process - An Overview
Year 12
VTAC OPEN NOW – START Applying!
Just a reminder that the VTAC timely application period is open NOW until the 28th September 2023, where you will pay a one-off fee of $55. If after this date you are looking at undertaking University courses or certain TAFE courses, this fee will become $140 – very late applications it increases to $180.
SEAS – All domestic students on this campus are ELIGIBLE to apply for SEAS category 1 and potentially category 4 due to covid. Please make sure you get this done, as it could be the difference in getting an offer. SEAS will close on the 6th October 2023.
Scholarships – All students are encouraged to apply for Scholarships which close on the 6th October 2023.
Please come in to careers, if you need a hand with this process.
ACCOMMODATION
If you have to move away to study, you will need to consider accommodation options. If you would like to live on-campus, you will need to start considering your options now as some universities are ‘first in, first served’. Residential Applications will open soon so have a look at the University you are wanting to attend and be ready to apply!
YEAR 12 SUBJECT SELECTION 2024
VCE students will be advising careers of their Year 12 subject selections for 2024 during their English class. The majority of Year 11 VCE students are studying six subjects and in Year 12 they will study five subjects. This means that students will need to reduce the subjects they study in Year 12.
So that students are prepared for this day, we encourage they:
* Speak with teachers if you have any concerns or questions in regard to continuing on with any subjects in year 12.
* Discuss thoughts and ideas with your parents and guardians. Speak with careers if you have any questions.
In Term 4, students will receive their timetable.
If there are any clashes with student classes once the 2024 timetable has been finalised, the careers team will be in contact to discuss options.
Students can log on to the Kurnai College website and access the Student Handbook that details all the subjects for 2024 at the following address: Kurnai Handbook (kurnaicollege.vic.edu.au)
Commencing in 2024, Virtual School Victoria will be operating a new blended learning hub in Morwell, where students will be able to access select VCE subjects not otherwise available at their secondary school, through a blend of face-to-face and online learning. The Hub will be located at the Morwell campus of TAFE Gippsland, and will be co-located with the high-tech Gippsland Tech School. *At this stage, VCE Politics (comprising Australian and Global Politics Units 1&2, Australian Politics Units 3&4, and Global Politics Units 3&4) would be the only subjects not offered at the uni campus. Please see careers if you want to hear more about this.
Students who are planning on transitioning to further education, training or employment in 2024, if they have not already done so, come and see our Careers Team (Cherie and Suze) ASAP to discuss your pathway option.
