SEAS (Special Entry Access Scheme)

Students who have had their academic results affected due to personal circumstances are encouraged to submit a SEAS application through their VTAC account. Based on the assessment, aggregate point adjustments may be applied, improving the Selection Rank calculated for courses at participating institutions. The 4 categories for SEAS are:

Category 1: Personal Information and Location

Category 2: Disadvantaged Financial Background

Category 3: Disability or Medical Condition

Category 4: Difficult Circumstances (including consideration of COVID remote learning impacts)

Students may wonder about considerations based on COVID and the significant impact this has had on their learning over the last few years. It is important to understand firstly that all ATAR calculations will be based solely on the results achieved by this cohort, all of whom have been affected by lockdowns and remote learning at the same time in Victoria. The ATAR is not a score achieved, but rather a rank in direct comparison to the performance of all other students in this year level and as a result, there is a natural consideration of the impacts of COVID through this.

However, students who feel their educational results have been negatively impacted due to financial disadvantage, a disability or medical condition or difficult personal circumstances they have had to cope with either short term or long term are encouraged to carefully consider applying for adjustments. For SEAS applications related to Category 3 or 4, students will most likely need to write their own Impact Statement and ask an appropriate person to provide a Statement of Support. For Category 3, it is recommended that a medical or allied health professional provide this Statement of Support and students are encouraged to book appointments well in advance of the 7 October deadline to ensure these requirements can be met.

PLEASE NOTE: Careers Coordinator Mrs Melinda Williams will be on leave from Monday 3 - Friday 14 October.
Students with questions regarding SEAS should direct these to Pathways Coordinator Anne Rogan or the relevant House Coordinator.

TAX FILE NUMBERS:
To enrol in their tertiary courses early in 2022 all students will need a TFN so now is a good time to apply if your daughter does not have one. Tax File Numbers can only be obtained through the Australian Tax Office.

UPCOMING TERTIARY EVENTS (various year levels):
There are a number of institutions offering events for students who may not have been able to attend Open Days. I encourage parents and guardians to discuss these opportunities with their students and encourage them to register.
