Careers & VET Information
Careers Corner
Welcome back to Term 2 – we are well and truly into the swing of things!
On Tuesday of Week 4 (20 May), the Year 11 Sports Coaching students will complete a First Aid course. For the Sports Coaching students, this is a compulsory part of the Certificate III in Sports Coaching. Thanks to Warren Keegan from Coastal First Aid for delivering the course. He does an excellent job and has some very interesting videos and examples of injuries and conditions.
Last week the Year 12 VET Construction and Hospitality students completed their 70 hours of compulsory Work Placement. From all reports, the students went very well. Thanks to Mid Coast Connect and the many employers for allowing this to happen. This is an excellent opportunity for the students to learn more of the world of work and often results in job opportunities for each of the students.
Last Wednesday 7 May, Donna from Learning Live delivered a White Card course for several students at St Clare’s. This is a compulsory requirement for anyone wanting to work or do Work Experience in the Construction Industry. There were 15 students in attendance, and we would like to thank Donna and Learning Live for this. Donna was very impressed with the students and sang their praises at the end of the day.
On Tuesday 20 May we will be visited by Jonathon Billingham who is the Dean of Residents at “New College”. This is to present information about New College at UNSW, and other university residential colleges which have an open admissions policy but share a similar Christian ethos and where the consumption of alcohol is not permitted within the student colleges.
New College is a residential college on UNSW campus. They are part of Living At University which represents several residential colleges based at universities across NSW. University colleges are very different to other large-scale accommodation options. Their primary purpose is not to merely provide a convenient place to live, but to foster an immersive community, built on academic excellence, social connection and pastoral care. There is also a link for the Living At University Brochure:
This is open to all students who will be living away from home post school, including Trainees and Apprentices and of course University students. Jonathon grew up in Taree and we would like to thank him for his time and information.
Year 12 students who are interested in a university pathway post school are reminded to check each university’s website for early application and scholarship information. Please refer to the Southern Cross University flyer below with a QR Code to find out more.
Newcastle University has provided the following updates with regard to its’ Early Offer Program.
We are pleased to share some important updates regarding the Early Entry Program (EEP) at the University of Newcastle. These updates include key dates for applications and offers, as well as information on programs, preferencing, guaranteed and prioritised student accommodation. As always, refer to the website for updates.
Key Dates for Early Entry Program Applications and Offer Round 1
- Last day to change preferences: 59pm 4 September 2025
- Offers released Thursday: 11 September 2025
Key Dates for Early Entry Program Applications and Offer Round 2
- Last day to change preferences: 59pm 25 September 2025
- Offers released Thursday: 2 October 2025
NOTE: Students can only receive one early offer through our Early Entry Program.
Excluded Programs:
Students can apply for any undergraduate program through the Early Entry Program, except for the following:
- Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) (Diagnostic Radiography)
- Bachelor of Midwifery
- Bachelor of Music and Performing Arts
- Bachelor of Music and Performing Arts/Bachelor of Arts
- Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours)
- Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy
- Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)
- Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)
- Joint Medical Program
These programs can be applied for through the Universities Admission Centre (UAC). Excluded programs will be reviewed annually and may change subject to demand.
Note: These programs are excluded from both the Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) and Early Entry Program.
Adjustment Factors
Adjustment factors are not considered as part of the Early Entry Program. We encourage students to also apply through UAC, where applications consider ATAR, Year 12 subject performance, and any eligible adjustment factors.
Preferencing Update:
When preferencing students are encouraged to select THREE programs for their application. With a slight change to the way we provide offers, we encourage students to use the following format for their preferences
- Students preferred degree
- A degree in a similar study area
- Lower-ranked degree or Diploma that provides a pathway to your preferred degree
Note: Students can change their preferences as many times as they like before applications close for their offer round.
Alternative Offers
Students may receive an early offer for a program that was not one of their preferences — such as Open Foundation, a Diploma, or a lower-ranked degree in a related study area. This indicates that their Early Entry selection rank did not meet the threshold required for the degrees listed in their Early Entry application. We recommend that students accept their early offer and apply through UAC for their preferred degrees.
Accommodation Updates
Guaranteed Student Accommodation Offer:
Eligible students who receive a first round Early Entry Program offer to study can apply for guaranteed accommodation at Callaghan or Ourimbah on-campus accommodation by following these steps:
- Accept their first round Early Entry Program offer to study in 2026 by the dates provided*.
- Complete their 2026 accommodation application via the Student Living portal by the dates provided*.
If a student changes their degree program, they may still be eligible for guaranteed accommodation** if they meet the early entry requirements and apply/accept within the timelines.
*Dates to be confirmed. Please check the relevant webpages frequently for the most up-to-date advice.
**Guaranteed accommodation applies to the first 500 complete applications received. Subsequent complete applications will be added to the prioritised student accommodation waitlist.
Prioritised Student Accommodation Offer:
For eligible applicants receiving a second round Early Entry Program offer to study in 2026, Student Living will prioritise their accommodation application once a completed application is received and they have emailed Student Living at studentliving@newcastle.edu.au to confirm eligibility.
Please Note:
The guarantee/prioritisation is for an offer to live on campus. While we will try to offer an applicant their top room preference, this is not always possible, and they may receive a second, third, or fourth preference offer.
If a student defers their studies, they will need to re-apply for accommodation as per the standard process and enter the non-guaranteed/prioritised pool of applicants. The guarantee/prioritisation only applies to those commencing studies and on-campus living in Semester 1, 2026.
UAC has opened. All students should have received a PIN from UAC – please check your junk mail if you have not received this yet. Please email me if you do not receive a PIN even if you do not want to go to university post school.
UAC (Universities Admission Centre) opened on Wednesday 2 April and all of the students should have received information about this process. This included information on SRS, EAS and Equity Scholarships.
All the students will have received a PIN to access this which is necessary if they want to go to university post school. This is one of the pathways to do this.
Another is Direct Entry and of course there are Early Entry options as well.
If you have not received your PIN, there are steps to take to get this. Please come and see me if you would any help with this.
There was some very important information about UAC, including SRS, EAS and Equity Scholarships. There will be information on some of the University Early Entry pathways and scholarship options in the coming weeks and these will all be dealt with in more detail during our Friday Period 1 Career sessions.
This information will be in our Careers Team OneNote.
Schools Recommendation Scheme
Applications opened on 2 April 2025.
The Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) is one way institutions make early offers of undergraduate admission to Year 12 students. They do this by using criteria other than (or in addition to) the ATAR.
Who can apply?
To apply for SRS you must be a Year 12 applicant who is attempting one of the following:
- an Australian Year 12 qualification in 2025
- an International Baccalaureate in Australia in 2025.
You must also be:
- a UAC applicant for undergraduate admission in 2026
- an Australian or New Zealand citizen, a permanent resident of Australia or the holder of an Australian permanent resident humanitarian visa.
Interstate and IB applicants: Wait until 1 August to complete your UAC undergraduate and SRS applications. We need access to your Year 12 student ID details and we will have them by August.
How you are assessed
Participating institutions may use one or more of the following criteria listed when considering your application:
- your Year 11 studies (IB and interstate students will need to upload a PDF of their Year 11 school report)
- your school’s rating of your aptitudes
- your Educational Access Scheme (EAS) application (if applicable).
Institutions will then make offers based:
- solely on SRS criteria
- on both SRS criteria and ATAR/selection rank
- on SRS criteria and ATAR and equity criteria.
Each institution has its own policy for determining SRS eligibility and making offers. For example, you may also have to submit an EAS application institution-defined dates or attend a school in a particular region.
SRS is not available for all courses. The institution-specific SRS criteria detail any exceptions.
Application Dates

SRS: Applications open for 2025

SRS unconditional and conditional offers released. Check your email or log in to your UAC undergraduate application.
How the Educational Access Scheme works
EAS applications opened 2 April 2025.
You can apply for EAS from your completed undergraduate application.
The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) helps UAC applicants who have encountered significant educational challenges. It gives them the opportunity to have their circumstances taken into account when institutions select applicants for courses.
If you are eligible for consideration under the Educational Access Scheme and your ATAR (or equivalent) is below the required selection rank for a course, an institution can increase your selection rank for that course, making you more competitive for a place.
Each institution has its own policy on when and how it increases selection ranks for eligible applicants.
Being eligible for EAS consideration doesn’t guarantee you an offer to a course; you still need to meet any published lowest selection rank for that course and compete with all other applicants for a place. If you successfully compete against other applicants, you will receive an offer as part of the standard undergraduate offer rounds.
Application dates
2 April 2025
EAS: Applications open for 2025 to 2026 admissions
EAS application and supporting documents must be received at least two weeks before the undergraduate offer round in which you wish to be considered.

EAS: Eligibility letters released for December Round 2

25 December 2025
EAS: Closing date for EAS applications for January Round 1
Apply and provide documents for EAS by midnight to have your application considered in January Round 1.
Equity Scholarships
Equity Scholarships are awarded to tertiary students who demonstrate the greatest level of financial need. Most applicants who are awarded a scholarship are receiving Centrelink income support payments such as ABSTUDY, Austudy, Youth Allowance, JobSeeker Payment, Disability Support Pension, Parenting Payment (Single) or the Carer Payment.
There are two types of Equity Scholarships:
- Institution Equity Scholarships: funded by individual institutions and their value, eligibility criteria and duration differ between institutions
- Indigenous Student Success Program scholarships: funded by the Australian Government.
Most institutions also offer merit scholarships: apply directly to the institution for these.
Who can apply?
To apply for an Equity Scholarship, you must be enrolled at a UAC participating institution, or applying for admission to a UAC participating institution in one of the following ways:
- through UAC (for undergraduate or postgraduate study: only a very limited number of Equity Scholarships are open to international applicants)
- directly to an institution
- through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) or the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).
Most applicants who receive a scholarship are receiving Centrelink income support payments and/or can demonstrate that they meet additional types of eligibility criteria specified by the institution.
Details of requirements for individual scholarships can be found on the institution websites.
Being eligible doesn't guarantee a scholarship
Meeting scholarship eligibility criteria doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be awarded a scholarship. There are more applicants than available scholarships. As part of a competitive application process, you are ranked against the eligibility criteria, and institutions award scholarships to applicants who best meet the eligibility criteria.
If you are unsuccessful, it doesn’t mean that you’re not in need; rather, it means that there are other applicants who’ve been assessed as being in greater need.

Undergraduate Institutions decide when they will make offers to their courses. There may be a significant amount of time between when you apply for a course and when the institution makes offers to that course. Most offers to 2026 semester 1 courses will be made in December and January.
Each university has its own pathway and it is important to look at the website for each university to know what should be done with regard to this.
