Year 12 Students
Information is being provided to Year 12 students via their Google Classroom each week. This includes careers newsletters and other matters including apprenticeships and gap year options for 2021. Students are advised to check this regularly and parents can also access these newsletters which are updated weekly on the McCarthy Careers page in this section: Career Newsletters
UAC will be sending UAC PINs to all Year 12 students this week as UAC applications opened on April 1st this year. Students are encouraged to keep this PIN safe and make copies if they intend to apply to university.
UAC have made the following online resources also available to assist students at this time:
Steps to Uni for Year 11 and 12 students

These have been prepared and some have been printed. It is hoped that PDF copies will be made available to students online by either the end of this term or early in term 2.
