For Year 12 students 

Australian Taxation Office - Tax File Number

Year 12 students are reminded that they cannot enrol in a CSP (Commonwealth Supported Place) university course next year without a Tax File Number (TFN).  Students who do not have one are reminded to apply for a TFN online and have their identity verified through an interview at a participating Australia Post office.  To apply and also to find out about participating Post Offices, visit TFN Application 

USI - Unique Student Identifier

A USI - Unique Student Identifier is a reference number that creates an online record of your training and qualifications attained in Australia.  Current Year 12 students are reminded that you will need a USI number when applying for Commonwealth financial assistance when you enrol at university next year.

Some students who have already been studying a VET subject may already have one, and it is recommended students create or find their USI via https://www.usi.gov.au/ ahead of time.

Australian Government - Study Assist

Students are encouraged to browse the following link as the website provides information to students about Australian Government assistance for financing of tertiary study.  There is very useful information on study loans, how one pays back those loans, scholarship opportunities, etc. 

A useful PDF titled Beyond School Study Guide published in February this year can also be found at - Beyond School Study Guide.  Visit Study Assist to find out more.

C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship

C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships are one of the most generous privately funded scholarships available to undergraduate students in Australia.  Each residential scholarship is valued at up to $60,000 over three years.  The scholarships are available to all Australian students, and the majority are usually awarded to students entering their first year of university studies.

Selection is largely based on personal qualities and demonstrated leadership as well as academic ability.  Undergraduate Hawker Scholars are able to attend a range of Australian educational institutions, so this scholarship is not restricted to one university.

The Charles Hawker Scholarship perpetuates the memory of scholar, soldier and pastoralist Charles Allan Seymour Hawker and commemorates the achievements of one of Australia’s most respected statesmen.

The 2021 C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships will open on Monday 7 December and close on Friday 8 January 2021.

Current Year 12 students are encouraged to browse Hawker Scholarship for more information about the scholarship, and to download an application form.
