With the recent release of the 2024 ATAR scores, there are thousands of Year 12 students throughout Melbourne’s southeast who are thinking about their futures and trying to decide what to do next year.
Conor Mullan, Chief of Education at Chisholm Institute of TAFE, advises students that there are a huge range of study options available for young people who did not get the ATAR they had wanted.
“You should be proud of all that you have achieved this year. Give yourself a break if things didn’t go according to plan and you didn’t receive the ATAR you hoped for. While high schools put a lot of pressure on you to achieve a high ATAR, the reality is that there are many pathways to reach your education, training, job and career goals. It’s important to find the path that works best for you,” Mr Mullan said.
As a southeast local, Chisholm is a fantastic and easily accessible option to consider.
“We offer a broad range of study options from certificates and diplomas to degrees, and you can apply regardless of your ATAR score. You can then choose to continue your studies with Chisholm, or pathway to another TAFE or university as you progress,” Mr Mullan said.
TAFEs offer a wide range of educational opportunities, including both academic and hands-on learning, ensuring that you are job-ready at the end of your course.
Chisholm also delivers more than 40 courses that are on the Victorian Government’s Free TAFE list, which means that for eligible students, your tuition fees are covered. You can view the courses offered at chisholm.edu.au/free-tafe “Financial scholarships may also be available to you via the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation,” Mr Mullan said.
