Year 12 Pathways
All Year 12 pathway interviews have been completed. Students are encouraged to email Careers staff or visit B21 if they have any queries.
Applications for the La Trobe Aspire program have closed and a large number of our students have submitted an application. Our very best wishes to those students who are hoping to receive an Aspire offer. La Trobe will make conditional offers before the end of this term.
A number of students need / want to submit applications for SEAS (Special Consideration). These applications close at 5:00pm on Friday 12 October (the last day of Week 1 of Term 4). Supporting Statements, where required for SEAS applications, are also due at 5:00pm on 12 October. Students who need Medical or other professional appointments to obtain their Supporting Statements should arrange these as soon as possible. No late SEAS applications or late submissions of Supporting Statements are accepted. Students who need help with any aspect of SEAS should visit B21 at their earliest convenience.
Students interested in studying at VU should note that VU Guaranteed is closing soon; Sunday 30 September. Submit your applications as soon as possible. If you need assistance come and talk to the Careers staff.
Year 10 Subject / Course Selection
All Year 10 students should now have made the decision about whether to study VCAL or VCE for Years 11 and 12. By now, students choosing VCAL would have made contact with Mrs Lilley and those choosing the VCE should now have made decisions about their subjects. Any Year 10 student concerned about their choices / decisions can visit B21 early in Term 4 to further discuss their options.
