Important information
Offers will not be made during the Year 12 external examination period. All offers made prior to the conclusion of the Year 12 school year will be conditional on students completing Year 12 and meeting program pre requisites, so it’s important that students stay engaged and complete their exams. Late applications will not be accepted so ask your questions early.
