SATAC Applications
Renmark High School students are well placed to be very successful in year 12. With our recent Futures Expo, the university open days, and now SATAC applications for tertiary studies underway, it is a good time to reflect on student successes. Last year our top two students achieved ATARs of 97.25 and 95, and students gained 3 of the 10 top scores in the Riverland. Of our total grades in year 12 for 2018, 20% were A grades and a total of 64% were A or B grades. These types of results meant that out of the 31 who applied for university courses, 26 students gained their first preference. These courses included Engineering, Dental Surgery, Commerce, Arts, Law, Physiotherapy, Speech, Medical Science, Info Tech (Gaming) and Psychology.
From our 2017 cohort of school leavers, our top Renmark High School students achieved 99.85 and 99.70 (the top 2 scores in the Riverland). Of the 35 who applied for university, 28 were offered their 1st preference including Chemical Engineering, Animal Behaviour, Creative Arts, Health and Medical Science, Forensic and Analytical Science, Psychological Science, Media, Architectural Studies, Marketing and Communication, Nursing, Business and Journalism.
For those putting in SATAC applications this year please remember application fees increase after 30th September for courses starting in Semester 1 2020. 30th September is also the closing date for the following courses offered in 2020 and late applications will not be accepted: Creative Arts (Drama) at Flinders University, Medicine/Surgery (including Bonded Medical place), Dental Surgery, Oral Health, and Veterinary Bioscience at the University of Adelaide.
