Subject Selection 2020

Year 11 and Year 12 2020 students will be selecting subjects next week.

Year 12 2020 on Monday 19th August, and Year 11 2020 on Tuesday 20th August.

There will be a timetable and some further information on Compass during this week.

 

Important Notes:

  • All current Year 10 students should have met with either a member of Senior School or Careers to discuss their options.
  • VCAL interviews are happening last week and this week. Students will be notified of the outcome by the end of Friday. If student are NOT successful at gaining a VCAL place, they will be expected to select VCE subjects for 2020 next week.
  • Students will receive a printed confirmation of their subjects. They need to have this signed by a parent/guardian which confirms their choices. If they would like to make changes, they should indicate the changes required on this form.
  • This form MUST be returned to the Senior School Office by FRIDAY 23rd AUGUST.
  • Numbers of classes and the timetable will be constructed using this information. There will be a chance to request a change later in the year, but changes will then be subject to blockings and capacity in classes, and hence may not be able to be accommodated.

 

If there are any questions, please speak to a Senior School House Coordinator or Careers.

Year 12 Students - Holiday Revision

As Year 12 students are fast approaching the end of their schooling, there are some important dates to remember:

 

1. Holiday Revision Sessions

Most subjects will run a revision session/practice exam over the holiday period or after school during the first two weeks of Term 4. A timetable will be published on Compass Newsfeed by the end of August.

There are also revision sessions run by Connect Education for some subjects. These are events on Compass, and cost $30 per student, per subject. There are strict cut off dates for payment. These are optional sessions to provide further revision opportunities to students.

 

2. Celebration Day

The event is on Compass, and payment needs to be made by the end of this Term. This is an optional, but highly recommended, last excursion for the Year 12s to Gumbya World on Tuesday 22nd October to celebrate the end of their schooling. Any questions should be directed to Miss Emma Lim (elim@ringwoodsc.vic.edu.au)

 

3. Year 12 Exams

The Year 12 exam timetable is available from VCAA https://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/administration/Key-dates/Pages/VCE-exam-timetable.aspx

 

Exams run from Wednesday 30th October to Wednesday 20th November.

Students who have an oral or performance exam will be notified of their specific time and venue by Friday 23rd August.
