Mandatory Tertiary Planning appointments are scheduled at the beginning of Term 3 with each Year 12 student. These 15 minute appointments can include an OP estimate and parents are welcome to attend. The purpose of these appointments is to ensure each student is on-track with their tertiary planning, as well as ensuring the sequence of their application is correct. Students applying for tertiary institutions with early application closing dates are encouraged to book their appointments as soon as possible. Appointments can be made on Moodle.
