Next steps – Year 12
The Year 12s are officially finished and so I would like to share final dates, times and information with them about what happens next.
University applications – UAC
All students need to take responsibility for their own application, and verify all dates with the website www.uac.edu.au/key-dates – don’t just rely on me or your parents! The dates list is complex, so I am giving you my own top pick but there are more.

TAFE applications
Generally, TAFE opens up for February enrolment mid-October but continually check, to make sure you are applying. It is not like University where you can defer a place, so if you are ‘GAP yearing’ you won’t need to apply until the following year.
Private colleges
All private colleges have direct entry applications, so each one needs to be checked regarding their own process. Early offers for most are now over (eg Notre Dame) but see the individual process for each.
Most importantly, I would like to wish all of the Year 12s best wishes for this next stage. It is crucial to remember their whole future does not rely on these dates, or this phase. Many students (30%) will change courses after their first year. Many students will change their mind on their GAP year. And many students will realise after their degree, that they are now interested in something else. As I say often, “take your time…”!
