University Open Days
All tertiary institutions hold Open Days during the year, as well as providing multiple other opportunities for students to explore their options. It is important that families consider doing this well before Year 12. Firstly, because what you find out in earlier years will shape the decisions you make in the lead-up to your final year of schooling – and may even determine whether you study VCAL or VCE. Secondly, because regardless of the program you choose, Year 12 will be a busy and demanding year, so it is advisable not to place too much pressure on your precious spare time. Ideally, Year 12 should be reserved for revisiting places you’ve already explored, to reassure yourself that they are still suitable for your goals.
In addition to the official “Open Day Season”, which generally fills out August to September, many institutions offer targeted holiday programs, and special events designed to give students greater insight into what it’s actually like to be a uni students. In most cases, these events are smaller and you will have greater access to information specific to particular areas of study. These will be advertised via this newsletter and myNHS, and families should also be subscribing to the newsletters sent out by unis.

Free Design Workshops
RMIT offers some first class opportunities for our students to fine-tune their folio preparation and interview skills in readiness for selection into many of their design-based courses. In most of these courses, performance in these tasks carries a higher weighting than the ATAR result, so students are encouraged to make use of opportunities such as these to gain advice from the experts.
