Week 7 Timetable

Year 11 students will be required to remain at the College in Week 7 if -

• They have not been signed off by all areas (sign-off sheets will be distributed in Week 5)
• They are ATAR students
• They are enrolled in Certificate III in Agriculture or Certificate III in Pork Production (Certificate III in Advanced Wool Handling are not required as this course is delivered through an external provider)

Students who have not been signed off in all areas, will work in the required area/s Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, or until required work is completed. Once students have been signed off, they are able to depart the College. 

ATAR students will sit their remaining Semester Two Examinations on Monday and Tuesday and can depart the College on Tuesday after their exam (if they are not a Certificate III student). 

Students enrolled in Certificate III must attend their Induction on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 

If required or desired, students can return to the College to complete extra harvest to go towards their Certificate II in Agriculture units (this will be dependent on harvest progress/harvest bans this year). 

If none of the above applies to students, they finish for the year on 15 November (end of Week 6) when the Year 11 Ceremony concludes.
