Year 12 Applications 2026 Entry

Introduction to the Careers Presentation

Today we presented essential information and key dates for various university entry schemes, admissions processes, and additional opportunities available to our Year 12 students.

Following is a copy of the presentation Year 12 Applications 2026 Entry and brief overview:

Early Entry Programs: Many universities offer early entry schemes that allow students to secure a place before receiving their ATAR results.
Universities Admissions Centre (UAC): UAC processes applications for undergraduate courses.
School Recommendation Schemes (SRS): SRS allows schools to recommend students for early offers based on their academic performance and potential.
Admissions Schemes: These include the Educational Access Scheme (EAS), which considers educational disadvantages, and adjustment factors or bonus points for specific achievements or circumstances
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR): ATAR is the primary criterion for university entry. Adjustment factors can boost the ATAR based on various criteria, such as subject performance or school location.
University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) and Law Admission Test (LAT): UCAT is required for medical and dental courses, assessing cognitive abilities and professional behaviours. LAT is for law courses, evaluating critical thinking and reasoning skills.
Portfolio Entries: Some courses, particularly in creative fields, require a portfolio showcasing students work. This can include art, design, or written pieces
Resources: Our Futures and Pathways Padlet is a valuable resource for exploring career options, accessing guidance, and finding information on various pathways. You can access the padlet by using the QR Code or clicking here.
