DOBSONS TRADING HOURS

Please note the trading hours for Dobsons Warragul on Monday 22 August only is 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm (instead of 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm).

Term 3 is certainly living up to its reputation of being a very busy term with subject selections for next year and Year 12 students making applications to universities and finding their future pathways. For students who are still not 100 per cent certain about what they might like to do after school, there are things that they can be doing to help them narrow their focus. From Year 10, students are able to participate in work experience which allows them to have a real-life experience of the day-to-day life in that career.  Many companies have a virtual option as well so it is well worth doing some research to see what you can find.

Volunteering is another way to gain experience, learn new skills, benefit your community, make new friends and it looks fantastic on your resume. There are always opportunities in your local community so once again, do some research to find something in your area of interest.  As always, if I can assist in any way please make a time to come and have a chat.

VTAC FAQs
We have included VTAC information in previous newsletters, so any students wishing to apply for university and selected TAFE courses in Victoria would be aware that applications are made online through VTAC.  Swinburne University is holding a webinar to assist parents in understanding the application process (see details below), and we have listed some common FAQs:

• How many courses can I apply for, and how should I order them?
  You may apply for up to 8 preferences.  You should order them from what you would most want – your dream course – down with a safety-net course last.  Make sure you have Plan A, Plan B and even Plan Z course preferences!
• What is a CSP course?
  A CSP course is a Commonwealth Supported Place and students pay part of the cost of their courses whilst the government pays a major part of the cost. All Australians, some New Zealand citizens and Australian Permanent Residents can apply for a CSP course.
• What do the course codes mean? 
  In the VTAC Guide, all CSP and Government-funded TAFE course codes end in “1” while local Full-Fee course codes end with “2”. Type “4” courses only apply to students older than 20 years of age. Course codes that end with “3” are for International Students.
• What if I do not have the prerequisite subjects or meet the essential requirements?
  A course preference will be disregarded by the course Selection Officer if an Essential Requirement has not been satisfied or you do not have a pre-requisite subject.
• Are the Lowest Selection Rank ATARs the same every year?
  No, you should use the Lowest Selection Ranks from previous years only as a guide to the relative level of difficulty of gaining entry into a particular course. It is important to realise that Lowest Selection Ranks are always subject to fluctuations as a result of pressures of supply and demand and therefore accurately predicting future entrance scores is not possible.
• What is SEAS?
  SEAS (Special Entry Access Scheme) is for all applicants whose education has been affected by long-term disadvantages such as disabilities, long-term illness, or difficult family circumstances.  SEAS applications close on 7 October 2022.
• Does VTAC decide if I get into a course?
  No, VTAC does not decide who gets into a course, and that decision rests with each universities’ selection officers and is based on having the correct prerequisites, essential requirements (if necessary) and the Lowest Selection Ranks ATAR.

Swinburne VTAC Info for Parents Webinar
Online – Tuesday 6 September 2022, 7:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Between course requirements, ATARs, offer rounds and the rest, there is a lot to stay on top of as the parent or guardian of a Year 11 or Year 12 student.

If you would like to be a source of guidance in your child’s life while they select their course, preferences and apply, attending this live webinar is a great first step to learn about VTAC jargon, upcoming dates and deadlines, how preferencing works, how Swinburne can support your child while they prepare to apply and more.

Nutrition and Dietetics Degrees in Victoria

According to Dietitians Australia, there is a distinction made between dietitians and other occupations in the nutrition and food science field, including that of a nutritionist.  The key difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist is that, in addition to or as part of their qualification in human nutrition, a dietitian has undertaken a course of study that included substantial theory and supervised and assessed professional practice in clinical nutrition, medical nutrition therapy and food service management.  So, in Australia, all dietitians are nutritionists however nutritionists without a dietetics qualification cannot take on the expert role of a dietitian.

Victorian universities offering undergraduate courses in nutrition, food science and/or dietetics include:

Studying a Common First Year in Engineering

Three Victorian universities offer a common first year in their Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree.  The advantage of a common first year is that students get to explore various specialisations in their first year, preparing them to choose an engineering field in their second year.  This way, students get a taste of the various engineering specialisations on offer before deciding which to pursue from the second year.

Monash University – Engineering
Monash offers ten engineering specialisations and all but the Biomedical Engineering specialisation, participate in the common first year.
