Morrisby Assessment for Year 10 students

Thursday 14 March

All Year 10 students will complete the Morrisby online psychometric assessment.  From this assessment students will receive a personal and detailed profile report providing an insight into their personal strengths and highlighting options for the future relating to further education or pathways. 

 

Students will need to arrive at The Farrall Centre by 8.25am so they are ready to start the assessment at 8.30am - 10.30am.  Students will get intermittent breaks throughout the assessment and will need to bring a fully charged laptop on this day. 

 

Morrisby opportunity for new Year 11 students

New Year 11 students are encouraged to sit the Morrisby Assessment. All new students were emailed log in details to undertake the assessment.  New students and their parents are invited to our Morrisby information session as detailed below.  It would be more relevant if the assessment was completed prior to this date. 

 

Parent and Student Morrisby Information Session

Year 10 student profile results will be released at our Parent and Student Information session on Monday 18 March at 5.30pm in The Farrall Centre. We will walk you through how to interpret the profile report and information about further opportunities for Year 10 students will be shared.
