  10. Traineeships & Apprenticeships • Generally prefer completion of Stage 1 SACE • Have basic literacy, numeracy and mechanical reasoning assessments • Previous work experience or part-time work is considered • Some students commence ASBA’s (Australian School-Based Apprenticeship) with Stage 1 or 2 studies

  11. For some VET courses, a day per week out of school is required • Students must catch-up work missed • Will usually involve missing at least one, possibly two, double lessons for subjects on the VET day

  12. ATAR • Australian Tertiary Admission Rank • Formerly called TER • National name used in every state ie. replaces HSC, VCE etc • But states still calculate their ATAR in different ways

  13. To be able to “get into” a course at university you should: complete SACE obtain a Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR, previously called TER) above the “cut off” for that year gain 80 Stage 2 credits + pass RP Complete any Year 12 prerequisites for the course University Entrance
