Perth International Airport

Excursion highlights for the Perth International Airport. I will not elaborate as you can find all the details by following this link:  http://www.perthairport.com/EdDefault.aspx?MenuID=260

TISC Speaker

Staff from TISC are available to visit schools to discuss University Admission procedures, Calculation of the ATAR, preference systems, etc.

If you would like a TISC staff member to visit to speak to your Year 12 students, parents or teachers, please contact ROBYN (08-9318 8038). For country locations, TISC will take the initiative to invite other local schools to ‘plug into’ a common time/location to make the most of their visitation.
