Subject Selections - Year 10 (2024)

From Week 4, Year 9 students started the process of selecting subjects for 2024 classes. This is an important process with a number of steps as students move toward choosing a more distinct pathway for their senior studies.

There was an assembly held on Thursday 25th May, which explained the process to students. Information was sent home about the timelines and structure of this to support students.
