Before the end of this term all Year 11 students should receive a Preliminary Subject Selection sheet to take home. Course counselling interviews for current Year 11 students with a parent will take place in November.

Year 12:
The VTAC process for university and TAFE selection begins on August 1 and closes in September.

Students will be able to log on to the VTAC site and enter their preferences. VTAC Guides will be available for purchase from school for $10 or newsagents for $15. The VTAC Guide will also be available on line. Year 12 students will receive much information, assistance and counselling during Term 3.

There will be a VTAC Information Night for parents on Thursday 4 August at 7.00pm in the theatre.

Students planning to do an apprenticeship or traineeship or another pathway will also be given counselling to assist them to make a smooth transition.
