On Tuesday, July 30 at Kilbreda College Hall (7 pm to 8 pm), there will be a special VTAC Parent and Student Information Evening that will be presented by Michael Ciesielski who is the Public Relations Coordinator for VTAC. It will assist parents to help their sons navigate the VTAC maze and to hear about SEAS (Special Consideration Access Scheme) and Scholarships. Further communication about this event will be sent over the coming weeks.
It is very important that both parents and students attend this information session as there has been major changes to the Offer System.
