SUBJECT SELECTION

With Subject Selection fast approaching for students, be inspired by the article listed below for Women in STEM. Over the coming weeks, Ms Bell will be visiting Year 10 classes to present information and resources to assist students to make informed decisions around VCE selection of subjects. Both parents/guardians and Homeroom Teachers will be signing off on web preferences in Term 3. Any parent and student wishing to make an appointment with the careers area can do so via email to Ms Bell. Any student that requires assistance with VO subject choices including VET options are also encouraged to see the careers team if required.
