Year 12 Assembly

The Year 12 student body were due to attend an assembly on Wednesday 11 August instructing to highlight two important processes that they need to consider completing.

However, due to the current lockdown, this information will now be presented via a recorded video lecture – details will be made available to students on how to view this, lecture, which is compulsory viewing for students completing their Year 12 this year.

The presentation will cover VTAC applications (for further education in 2022) with the students being shown by Ms Vivian Sipsas (Senior Careers Counsellor) how to complete their application, as well as what things to consider when choosing their possible pathway.

Timely applications are open now and close on 30 September. More information is available at https:// www.vtac.edu.au/dates.html

Ms Sipsas also speaks about the Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) which assists students who may have experienced hardship or been disadvantaged during the course of their VCE. Applications for SEAS are now open and close on 8 October – the College is able to assist with these applications and more information is available at https:// www.vtac.edu.au/access/seas.html
