Information for Year 12 Students
VTAC Applications
For students who wish to apply for tertiary study, we remind you that VTAC applications have opened. We hope you have been able to view the information provided on how to set up your VTAC account and have done this.
On Tuesday 8 August we will host an information session in the lecture theatre guiding students through the steps required to enter course preferences and complete their VTAC application.
To create your VTAC account you must have your VCAA student number (emailed to the personal email you provided the school) and your USI (if you don’t have one go to https://www.usi.gov.au/students/find-your-usi).
Shortly, we will be emailing students a link they can use to book an appointment with careers staff if they need help with applications, SEAS, scholarships, employment, etc. We will also provide information about large/group sessions being offered.
VTAC have a YouTube channel with a range of short clips to help to step you through the application process. You can find this at: https://www.youtube.com/user/vtacmedia/videos.
University Open Days
We encourage students and parents to attend upcoming university open days. Open days are a great opportunity to learn about courses of interest, get a feel for university life, and help students with deciding what they might like to study post-school. Open Day dates for select universities are listed below.
