News & information:

1. Yr12: Paying for your uni costs - If you are a student who will be applicable for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP), it helps (pardon the pun) to know what you're liable for each year. Universities are capped at how much they can charge for a particular subject, and how much that charge is, depends on what 'student contribution band' the subject sits in. This charge can be covered by HECS-HELP if you're applicable for it. To learn more about how this works, including how to work out your individual subject costs, click here for the studyassist.gov.au Student Contribution Band webpage, but below are the 2020 bands; note that it changes each year to match inflation. (EFTSL: Equivalent Full-Time Student Load ie. 4 subjects per semester; 8 per year)
   

2. Yrs 9-11: 9 Questions Everyone Asks About Vocational Education And Training (VET) - So you are reaching the senior years of high school and it feels like everybody is asking you what’s next, what do you want to do, what will you study? Fair questions, but what if you don’t have the answers? You ask, ‘what even are my options?’ One option is VET, but sadly nearly 30% of students surveyed by the FYA said their school didn’t mention vocational education and training (VET) - WE DO!!! To help you understand it, the FYA have put together the straight up facts about VET. Click here to find out what it is, how it works, who to contact if you want to give it a go and which websites you should check out.
