Australian arts college Collarts removes ATAR requirement to emphasize creativity over scores.

Collarts, an Australian arts college, has removed the ATAR requirement for entry to challenge the idea that a student's worth is tied to their score. A film by Christopher Tovo features students symbolically breaking their ATARs to highlight the importance of creativity. Collarts CEO Sam Jacob asserts that ATAR is just a snapshot and not indicative of future success or talent. The college aims to promote a more holistic view of student potential, focusing on creativity and community impact rather than numerical rankings.
