On Friday 7 May, Year 12 received a copy of the UAC guide for 2021-2022. I asked them to take the time in the coming weeks to familiarise themselves with this book.
They also received the following three documents:
Click here for Careers Newsletter UAC Super Edition (provides more comprehensive information)
Click here for Undergraduate Fact Sheet Key Dates 2021-22
Click here for Year 12 Checklist for Applying Through UAC
Students’ UAC PIN numbers were previously emailed to them by UAC. Students need to use this PIN number when they apply to University.
It’s best to apply before midnight on Wednesday, September 30, 2021 to avoid the increase to the processing charge. Some courses, particularly those with additional selection criteria, have earlier closing dates.
Please note that a number of courses are not yet available to be selected. They will be added when details have been confirmed.
If your son was absent on Friday 7 May, please see me next week to collect a copy of the guide and the accompanying documents.
Please see me if you have any questions or concerns.

Following a review of our Year 12 graduation events carried out in 2019 by our Wellbeing Team and College Captains, it was decided to introduce another event for Year 12 and their families when they graduate from the College in 2021. Following a Graduation Mass to be held in the afternoon at St Mary’s Cathedral, Year 12 and their parents/guardians will join the College staff for a Valedictory Dinner at Darling Harbour on the evening of Wednesday 15 September. More information about these events will be released later in Term Two.
Students and their partners are invited to the Year 12 Formal which will now be held on the evening of Thursday 17 June at Jones Bay Wharf. Students have been briefed today about the event. Official information, the invite and booking details will be published in next week’s Nurrunga.
