University Information
Year 12 Parents and Students
The applications for further study at either TAFE or University have NOT been requested by the respective tertiary institutions at this stage. In August students will be given the 2018 TISC Guide that will outline all the procedures and dates that are relevant to the university application process and beyond. Mr Frusher will also be talking to the students as a group and explaining the TISC Guide, together with the application process. In August/September, Mr Frusher will be conducting one-on-one interviews with all Year 12 students to check each application and to offer advice prior to applications being sent on-line.
At this stage of the year all Year 12 students should have received a Prospectus from each of the WA Universities via the Careers expo or Mr Frusher and a Year 12 WACE Information Handbook 2017 (on-line at Schools Curriculum & Standards Authority - www.scsa.wa.edu.au). Following on from the Scotch Careers Expo, students are encouraged to attend university and TAFE Open Days throughout July/August.
For information on interstate and overseas universities check the relevant websites or contact Mr Frusher who will be able to assist.
As a parent, what can your son and you do together?
- Discuss various courses in the prospectuses that may be of interest to your son
- Gather more information by visiting university websites, or requesting further information from universities
- Attend university Open Days that are advertised in each prospectus and in this newsletter
- Be positive; don't panic (yet) and communicate with as many people as possible
