  6. Attendance & SACs

  7. Attendance & Absences • It is essential that students attend all classes • A minimum of 90% attendance is necessary to meet unit outcomes and pass a unit • Only a Medical Certificate is acceptable for absences in year 12. • At VCAL: Students need to attend all VET and work placements to gain their VCAL certificate, if students are absent, they need to contact their placement. • Lateness to school affects a students attendance rate. We ask your support in ensuring that your child arrives to school on time.

  8. SACs For VCE Students Year 12 is focused around the completion and success of SACs and Exams • SACs contribute to a student’s Study Score and ultimately towards the student’s Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). • Your ATAR is your child’s rank and can’t be calculated. • All SACs must be attended and completed at the set time • The only exception to this is by providing a medical certificate or by making an application for Special Provisions

  9. Support at home • Getting the balance right: • Reduce part time work hours. • Encourage physical activity. • Ensure enough sleep. • Agreed use of the internet & mobile after 11.00pm. weeknights. • A place to study: • Desk / space dedicated to school work • Good light • No distractions • OR stay at school after 3.00 & use TSC facilities

  10. Work timetable: • Post it on the fridge • Ensure the timetable is being used. • Become the tutor: • Quiz them on a topic; help them to learn key terms. • Discuss the work together • Read the English novels and have a discussion about them. • Make a set time to: • Get the busy work out of the way – homework. • Study • Commit items to memory. • Do additional questions. • Complete exam questions. • Email queries to your teacher

  11. What will I be doing in 2014 to prepare for 2015? • Researching tertiary courses and career pathways. • Having regular discussions about courses and careers with the Pathways & Career team, subject teachers and family members. • Attend Tertiary Open Days and ask questions. Most open days will commence in August.

  12. Application Process Tertiary Options • University • TAFE • Private Providers Most universities and TAFEs in Victoria use the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) process. However some require direct applications. VTAC administers the application processes for places in tertiary courses, scholarships and special entry access schemes at university, TAFE and independent tertiary colleges in Victoria. VTAC receives and forwards application information and supporting documentation to the relevant authorities at institutions. VTAC also calculates and issues the ATAR

  13. All year 12 VCE students will enter preferences (courses) though VTAC this year. VCAL students will apply directly to institutions of their choice. • VTAC applications open on Monday 4th* of August 2014 and close at the end of September, date TBA. • Application fee is $27.00. Payment by credit card or PayPal only on the day the application is made. • a late fee of $91.00 • a very late fee $110.00 There are 3 levels of requirements you must meet to be considered for a course: - Tertiary entrance requirements - Institutional entrance requirements - Course entrance requirements More information to come during Study Camp and closer to VTAC application open date.

  14. What can a parent do to support their Year 12 son or daughter? • Ensure that students have somewhere appropriate to work • Remain positive about results throughout the year • Remind students that “school” must be the number one priority, but that balance is also required • Attend parent teacher interviews with your child
