Student results in ATAR courses are used by the Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) to calculate a student’s Australian Tertiary Admissions Ranking (ATAR) for the purpose of university selection. General Courses: are designed for students who are typically aiming to enter further training (such as TAFE), alternative pathways to university, or the workforce directly from school and do not require an ATAR. Students enrolled in General courses will not be required to sit external examinations but will complete externally set tasks (EST) as required by the SCSA. AQF Certificate II courses:

Headmaster's welcome Hale School has a proud tradition of boarding that extends back to 1858. Today, as has always been the case, boarding is the foundation of Hale School. One of the many great strengths of this school is that we have students who come from all over our state, the country and, increasingly, the world. The diversity that this brings to Hale is significant and prepares boys well for the increasingly complex world ahead of them. Boarding is an ideal way to prepare young men for the future. The Hale@home programme is the best way to prepare boys about to enter the immersive and educational environment that boarding provides. We recognise that the transition from home to boarding can be challenging.

  • School Fees Report 2019 Introduction
    School Fees Report 2019 Introduction With one in three Australian families sending their child to a non- Government school, private school fees are a huge investment for parents. Edstart’s School Fees Report helps you understand the trends in private school fees across the country. This year’s report analysed fees from over 300 schools, covering tuition, compulsory additional fees and boarding fees. Overall Trends Private school fees across Australia have risen by an average of 3.1% in 2019, which is slightly down from 3.2% last year. While almost 9% of schools reduced their fees or had no fee change, we found that over 84% of schools increased their fees by more than the current inflation rate of 1.8%*. Fee inflation also continued to outpace the average wage growth rate of 2.2%. While there was a small drop in school fee inflation this year, state-based fee analysis showed significant geographic variances. NSW and Victoria continued to lead the way with the highest average school fees and smallest percentage of schools where fees remained the same or were reduced. Western Australia saw the highest percentage of schools that did not raise their fees in 2019 and the lowest average increase in fees at merely 1.58%. On the other hand, ACT showed the highest fee increase of 5.07%. These statewide trends are caused by some of the key themes that are explained further below. A Tale of Three Parts While overall school fee trends were consistent with prior years, 2019 has generated the largest variety of school fee changes in many years.

  • Tertiary Selection in Victoria Aug 2009
    IMPROVING SELECTION FOR TERTIARY EDUCATION PLACES IN VICTORIA Richard James Emmaline Bexley Madeline Shearer Centre for the Study of Higher Education The University of Melbourne Paper prepared for the Joint Policy Unit on Youth Transitions August 2009 CONTENTS Executive summary 1 Background to the paper 4 1. The changing context: The implications for tertiary selection of the new national goal of universalising participation 6 2. Victoria’s present tertiary selection processes 10 3. The effectiveness and limitations of current processes 15 4. Recommendations for enhanced tertiary selection processes 24 5. A hypothetical scenario: The tertiary sector in 2015 29 Appendix: International perspectives 31 References 34 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report argues that urgent consideration should be given to the fairness and suitability of tertiary selection practices in Victoria. The State government should, as a high priority, take a leadership role in establishing a process for consultation with all relevant stakeholders. The context for this recommendation is the major transformation of the tertiary sector that will take place as a result of the federal government’s commit to expand participation and improve equity in line with the recommendations of the Review of Australian Higher Education (DEEWR 2008). The Review’s policy recommendations seek to create the conditions for ‘universal’ participation in higher education. Achieving this goal will require new approaches towards student recruitment and student selection, and new tertiary selection criteria.
