Senior School Course Confirmation 2025

The College is hosting the Year 11/12 Course Confirmation Interviews tomorrow afternoon (Thursday 15 August). The purpose of these interviews is to confirm each student's courses for the 2025 academic year. Families will be able to ask questions and make any necessary changes across the five lines for their senior secondary student within the 10-minute allocated timeslot.

The meetings will be held in the Student Resource Centre (library) between 4.00pm and 7.00pm. Booking details were shared in an email with all current Year 10 and Year 11 families in Week 3.  

Current information about Year 11 and 12 in 2025 is available in the course guide, which can be viewed on our website here. 

Connect communication

The College Learning Management System (LMS), Connect is increasingly accessed by staff, students and families to highlight transparency in communication and strengthen the home and school partnership. Families can access their child's learning profile from their dashboard, including their timetable, upcoming tasks and academic feedback from all class teachers.  

The Senior School Families page provides additional information such as College events and news updates pertaining to the Senior School. You can also find the College Calendar, previous information sessions and a Connect User Guide for families to assist in navigating the platform at the above link. 

As always, please contact the Director of Curriculum, Chelsea Mouritz if you have any questions regarding Connect. 

Continuous feedback  

Term 3 began with collaborative learning conferences between students, teachers and families with a focus on improved student outcomes for the second half of the academic year. Teachers continue to provide students with positive and constructive feedback throughout the year on Connect. Continuous feedback is the process of teachers providing timely and targeted feedback to students about their learning progress within their discipline. 

Feedback on learning is visible to students, teachers and families and may be in one of the following modes of feedback: 

• Annotated documents 
• Rubrics 
• Audio/video feedback 
• Comments 

The College encourages families to regularly engage in this feedback to support their child’s learning journey and make direct contact with their child’s teacher if they have any questions.
