Year 10 News

Semester 1 Subject Changes:

Our Leading Teacher, Miss McQueen has sent a SEQTA DM to all students to book an appointment to change and to talk through a possible switch.  From there, students will receive a subject change form in which will need to be signed off at home and returned to the co-ordinators or leading teacher. Students will need to then book an appointment on the Google spread sheet. 

The last day for subject changes is Friday 9th Febuary. 

Work Experience

Semester 1 Work Experience dates: 25 - 28 March 

Semester 2 Work Experience dates: 16 - 20 March 

Students will undertake a Careers class in either Semester 1 or Semester 2. Within this careers class, students will organise their work experience with a employer. Genni Smith will also assist Careers Teaching staff and students with their work experience organisation and necessary certificates. 

Year 10 Camps
