hi @joemama Any crude ideas which year have higher in takes. Is it year 9 or year 10? does it differ from school to school?
Hi, it differs from school to school but as a general rule of thumb, year 11 has the most as they open up new spots
Second would be year 9 (im not sure why haha but most schools have a lot of students leave in yr9, or some schools such as Sydney boys open up a bunch of new spots)
year 10 would be less of a chance as spots are only opened when current students leave

duke of ed i think u have to be in yr9 to participate in it. the way most ppl do it is thru their school, usually the schools organise them.

yeah volunteering in school fundraisers, joining clubs & initiatives, or even volunteering outside of school e.g at a thrift store or aged care centre would look great on your application
you don't have to have a certificate as proof, you could have a written document by ur supervisor, or a printout of ur name on the program
