Four planning sheets for the decisions that arrive before an application.

Use these prompts to prepare a family discussion, school meeting or strategy consultation.

01

Year 10 subject-choice check

Before subjects narrow future options, record:

  • Courses or pathways currently being considered
  • Published prerequisites and assumed knowledge to verify
  • Subjects the student can sustain, including when a subject appears strategically useful
  • One credible alternative if interests or results change
02

Year 11 medicine-readiness review

Use real school evidence for the planning conversation:

  • Current subjects, marks, rank context and recent trajectory
  • A working ATAR target range and the assumptions behind it
  • A sustainable point to begin or refine UCAT preparation
  • Direct and alternative medicine or health pathways to compare
03

Applications and deadlines master planner

Use four labels for every important date:

  • Register: testing, portals or separate institutional systems
  • Submit: applications, evidence, portfolios or preferences
  • Assess: tests, interviews, auditions or supplementary tasks
  • Outcome: offers, preference changes, acceptance and deposits
04

Consultation preparation checklist

Prepare enough context without sending sensitive documents first:

  • Student year level, subjects and the decision that feels most urgent
  • Recent marks or rank context available to discuss later
  • Schools, courses or pathways already being considered
  • Three questions the family wants the roadmap to answer

General planning prompts only. Requirements and dates can change; verify current details with the relevant official institution. Please do not email or text completed worksheets containing sensitive student information in the first enquiry.
