Post school options
It’s never too early to start thinking about your post school options. You can attend Career and Tertiary Expos, University and College open days throughout the year to find out more information. Most students start by making an appointment with a Guidance Officer and doing personal research on the internet.
Career Planning
The State and Federal Government have a range of useful websites that can assist students in their career planning. These sites offer career quizzes, information on specific jobs (including how much you can expect to be paid), tips in preparing resumes and how to handle those tough interviews for a job.

Tertiary Entrance
The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) in Queensland acts as a clearing house for applications for courses at Universities, TAFE and some private colleges. Interstate applications go through the appropriate state admission centres. Each application is unique and it is therefore advisable to see a Guidance Officer before applying for tertiary courses.
Please note that some private providers have a different application process and students need to contact the individual colleges for further advice.
