Year 11 were utilising their study room Tuesday, in-between exams!

Unit 2 and Year 10 exams update

Unit 2 exams conclude this afternoon, and Year 10 exams will be halfway complete by the end of today. Well done to all of the students who attempted these exams to the best of their ability.

Year 11 into 12 Step Up

The Year 11 into 12 Step Up is as follows, taking place across Thursday 16th and Friday 17th November (this week). Vocational Major classes are only running on Friday, which enables Vocational students to still attend VET on Thursday.

A detailed timetable was given to the students today, and will be posted to Compass.

Please note that Year 10 students enrolling in General Maths next year will be asked to attend General Maths Step Up in Period 2. They will then go back to their VET classes.

Year 10 into 11 Step Up will run on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th December, upon their return from Work Experience. Any students enrolling in a Unit 1/2 subject in 2024 will be expected to attend this Step Up session.

Year 7 to 10 Science Texts for 2024

The Science text books currently being used by Charlton College at Years 7 to 10 are no longer available to purchase new. There are 2nd editions available but, although they have similar content, their layout is quite different making it impossible to use in combination with 1st edition texts in Science classes.

Therefore, as indicated on the book lists, it will be necessary for families to acquire second hand texts. Teachers will be able to assist with this, but please encourage your child(ren) to ask a student in the level below if they need a text and/or ask a student in the level above could they buy their text. There are also a number of used texts available for purchase if you contact Leonie McGurk at school on 5491 1280.

Please note – as requested in previous years, if there are families who have extra texts at home which are not being utilized, please take them to the office at school and a buyer could be arranged for them. Make sure the name of the seller is included as well as the asking price. The relevant texts are shown below.
