Tertiary Open Days
The Year 10s, 11s and 12s have been emailed a list of Open Days and a copy is also saved on the Portal at https://portal.tintern.vic.edu.au/homepage/16009/ . Open Days are generally during the month of August so students should organise their visits by using the various Open Day Planners such https://www.swinburne.edu.au/openday/plan-your-day/ from Swinburne University. Year 10 and 11 students are encouraged to attend at least one Open Day while Year 12s should be refining their preferences.
Some Tips to Maximise the Value from Open Days…
- Check registration requirements prior to Open Days
- Plan the day using the institution’s Open Day Guide which is available beforehand from their website noting the timing of information sessions
- If a course includes an interview/folio presentation as part of the selection process (e.g. Design related courses), students may well be asked about experiences or impressions gained at Open Day
- Prepare questions for staff and students such as course requirements, industry placements, employment opportunities or study abroad opportunities
- Consider the general environment, for example, rural or urban, city or suburban, large or small, range of clubs or societies, student support services and transport
