We had a very informative seminar by Nejat from Shepparton High School. We now know that learning a second language and taking a 2nd language subject starting from primary school through to high school could help cementing a better position to secure higher ATAR score eventually. “As a result of government policy to encourage the study of languages, a further adjustment is made during the scaling process. Each languages is adjusted up by adding five to the initial VTAC scaled study score average. All students of languages receive an adjustment, but it is not a uniform adjustment. For study scores at or close to 30, the adjustment is 5, but the adjustment decreases as the study score moves away from 30.”
The Shepparton campus of Victorian School of Languages need our support right now or facing the possibility of shutting down due to lack of enrollment. The VSL Shepparton Centre is located in Shepparton High School, Hawdon Street, Shepparton. It opens on Saturday 9:30am – 12:50pm. For further information, please contact Centre Supervisor Nej Akdere on 0409 522 168, or email: akdere.nejat.n@edumail.vic.gov.au. More information about VSL at www.vsl.vic.edu.au.
