22.01.2022 Not pure comms...but something I’d like to share. ATAR ANXIETY For students and parents:... As someone who has worked in Unis for over 13 years and who has worked a lot with prospective students. Please know that your ATAR is not the be all and end all. There are other ways of entry. University’s will want to get as many students as they can. They are businesses. So please - during this stressful time, don’t allow ATAR and exams to add to that stress if you can avoid it. It is one of the things in life that is given way too much focus and power. I don’t know why. It was like that when I was at school too. Just know, there are ways into university if need be. Do what you can, but not at the expense of your mental and physical health. https://www.abc.net.au//daniel-andrews-says-year-/12123498
