National Course Seeker website launched

The Course Seeker website is now available at courseseeker.edu.au. The Course Seeker website contains information about higher education courses in all Australian states and territories (including Victoria). This interactive, searchable website displays course information, entry requirements, admission processes and student satisfaction and graduate survey results at the study area and institutional level.

The Australian Government Department of Education and Training worked with the Tertiary Admission Centres (TACs) to develop a national higher education admissions information platform. The platform was a recommendation by the Higher Education Standards Panel in their Improving the Transparency of Higher Education Admissions report released in October 2016.

Box Hill Institute SBAT in Hospitality - earn up to $4,000 while still at school!

For VCE & VCAL students interested in a 12 month traineeship while still at school, a School Based Hospitality Program can be a fantastic way to secure your first job, earn money and receive a nationally recognised Certificate III in Hospitality.  

The program features:

• Paid employment at Box Hill Institute’s Fountains Restaurant on a Thursday evening (up to $15 per hour)
• Wednesday afternoon classes to suit School’s timetabling requirements (matching VETiS hours)
• Opportunities for weekend and holiday work at prestigious sporting events (e.g., The Spring Racing Carnival, the Australian Open, Melbourne Grand Prix etc.)
• A nationally recognised and in-demand Certificate III in Hospitality
• Pathways to further study and work opportunities (in both cookery and hospitality).

 Talk to Ms Witt, Mr Ramsay or Mr Bevan if this idea interests you. SBATs can also be done in other areas of study, such as Business.

Please note: You are not permitted to sign up to any SBAT as part of your NHS study plan without first consulting your YLPLs and the three people mentioned above. SBATs offer many advantages, but also need to be carefully considered and discussed before you commit, so as to ensure that all your study and career goals can be met.

To find out more about Box Hill’s SBAT in Hospitality, go to the upcoming parent and student information night (Wed 14 Nov). Register using the following link: School Based Hospitality 2019.
