During term 3 our current Year 10 and Year 8 students have been involved in the subject selection process for Years 11 and 9 respectively in 2022. We are finalising course viability and staffing availability and are hoping to have the lines available to Year’s 8 and 10 by week 3.

Students who have chosen courses that were not viable will be consulted over the next couple of weeks. Other students may have been given the additional preference they chose if one of their main round subjects was not available.

Students still have the option to change courses if there is still available room in that class, during the final round of subject selections. I am hoping to have this finalised by the end of week 5.

Year 11 students who chose a TVET course as one of their three preferences have been enrolled in EVET for their chosen course. These enrolments, paperwork and payment ($500 per course per year) will need to be finalised by the end of October. These students need to be in consultation with Mrs Dickie to ensure the college is up to date with their intentions leading into 2022.

Year 11 2021 students are currently looking at their subjects as they transition into the HSC course. At this point, students have the option to change their Mathematics, English and Religion courses. A green form needs to be signed by their parents or guardians and respective coordinators here at the college before any course changes can be made. All changes will be in effect on Monday 18th October.

As year 11 students can move from 12 units in their Preliminary course to 10 units in their HSC course, students will also have the opportunity to “drop” 1 or 2 units after they have obtained their reports at the beginning of week 4. Students will again need to have the appropriate paperwork signed and meet with me to ensure they are still meeting NESA requirements.

Enjoy your weekend, regards,
