From August to September, I will be conducting one-on-one interviews with all Year 12 students to discuss applications and to offer advice. Even if applications have been submitted, they are still able to be adjusted for several months.
All Year 12 students should have received a prospectus from each of the WA universities and visited the online Year 12 WACE Information Handbook 2020.
