Diary Dates

Now is the time to start planning for the remaining Open Days in August.

As indicated previously, I highly recommend attending these as part of your tertiary study research as they provide a unique and valuable opportunity to discuss courses of interest with academics, lecturers and current students plus explore the courses and facilities institutions have to offer. The attached document lists the dates of the different tertiary institution Open Days for 2019 and outlines how to get the most out of an Open Day. 

You can also find a list of 2019 dates for open days on the VTAC website   http://vtac.edu.au/opendays.html 

Students should also include these dates in their diary too...

• University / TAFE Open Days 2019 – throughout August
• Year 12 VTAC timely applications – throughout August and September
• VTAC SEAS and Scholarship applications open August and September
