Orientation Fortnight
Orientation fortnight begins on Wednesday 28 November and is a great chance for students to get a “head start” to their 2019 studies.
All students have at least 5 classes in the subjects they are completing next year so they can get a feel of the content covered, the assessment methods used and the resources required to successfully complete each subject. All students will have work to complete over the break and this work will be collected on Day 1 2019.
Students going on World Challenge have a condensed orientation program and access to website where tasks to be completed are archived.
Finally, booklists for 2019 have been confirmed and will be available on line at the Monash University bookshop webpage from Wednesday 21 November.
