Careers Corner

It has been a busy term so far. The course counselling for next year has finished. Thank you to those parents and students in Year 9 and 10 who came to our VCE night in the Library.

 

Currently I am seeing the Year 12s for their VTAC applications and University or TAFE preferences. Thank you to those Year 12 students and parents that came to the VTAC night. A reminder to Year 12s to check their emails on their VTAC accounts for any important information regarding their account and course selection. Some courses have requirements such as interview, personal statement or folio by certain dates and these could be early so keep on top of your emails so you don’t miss out!!

 

The VTAC website has all the information on dates, fees and SEAS (Special entry assistance scheme) and scholarships.

 

I am on long service leave this month and Lorraine Pirihi will be relieving for me in my absence. Please contact Lorraine on the school phone number for any careers assistance.
