Careers

Term 3 is a busy time for all students and the careers department has been supporting the students through subject selections for next year and for Year 12 students the important VTAC application process of applying for tertiary courses. 

Year 12

On Monday the Year 12 students attended a VTAC information session that provided them with a comprehensive outline of how to apply for courses, SEAS and scholarship applications and the important deadlines for all of these processess. The presentation has been sent home along with a range of useful resources to support students through these steps. All students have been encouraged to make time for a careers interview if they need help with any part of the application process. Interviews can also be made for before and after school, if that is more convenient. To assist with making valuable choices I would recommed attending the Tertiary Open Days. All the information on times and dates has been sent home and is also posted up in the Library.

Over the next few weeks there will be a number of lunch time sessions which students can attend if they would like help setting up there applications. The time and place of the sessions will be on Compass and emailed home. Students will need to bring their student number and their USI to these sessions.

Please diarise these dates
