Overview

If you have any questions about ATAR, QCE or your young person’s senior pathway, please don’t hesitate to make contact. We are here to support students in the following areas:

• Wellbeing
• Study Skills
• Subject and Pathway Choices
• QCE attainment
• Employment and apprenticeship applications
• Post-School pathways

Year 11 students are encouraged to settle into their chosen pathways and develop effective study habits at home.

For Year 12 students, this is an important time to stay on track for success and begin considering their post-school options. Attending open days, participating in information sessions, and exploring apprenticeships and traineeships can be valuable steps in this process.
