YEAR 9 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 4
Subject Selection - Year 10 2027
The Year 10 2027 subject selection software will open for students on Tuesday 4 August at 6:30 pm and close on Tuesday 11 August at 5:00 pm.
Students were guided through the login and selection process on Wednesday during Community PG and have been emailed a copy of the instructions. They were also provided with time during PG to create a list of their preferred subjects and reserve choices in their diaries.
We encourage both students and parents to take the opportunity over the weekend to discuss subject choices and consider future pathways.
Parents will receive a copy of the instructions, along with the Parent Pin, via email.
Looking Ahead
St Mary’s Day on Tuesday of Week 5 will be a wonderful opportunity for students to get involved—whether by supporting younger students, assisting with activities, or showcasing their talents in the concert. We look forward to seeing their growth and enthusiasm throughout the term.
Students will soon receive information about leadership opportunities in Year 10 as Junior Prefects. We encourage students to actively participate in College and community activities and begin demonstrating leadership qualities both within and beyond the College.
