YEAR 10 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 2
Subject Information Expo - Thank you
Thank you to all the parents and students who attended our Subject Information Expo on Wednesday evening. This event is an important part of the subject selection process for our Year 10 students ahead of their SET plans in Week 3. More information about this process will be provided soon.
Year 10 Retreat Week
We hope that all students take advantage of the opportunities available this week during their Retreat or the Alternative Program. Both these activities are designed to support the holistic development of our young people.
Year 10 Retreat Alternate Program
Please be advised that students will be required to attend the Alternate Program on the days they are not at Retreat (excluding Wednesday). This program is vital for students as they begin to make subject choices for Year 11. Important information will be shared about the SET plan process, as well as visits from industry professionals, including representatives from universities, TAFE, and VET pathways.
Students will be required to report to M1 and M2 and must bring their laptops.
