The purpose of this evening is to inform Year 8 parents and students of the 2019 Middle School Course Selection process.
You and your son/daughter will be asked to make important course selection choices staring next week. By attending the evening you will find out about;
- the guidelines/requirements for a balanced course
- the timeline/procedure for choosing courses
- the costs involved with some of the courses
After the formal part of the evening, we invite you to view displays and speak with staff in the Key Learning areas.
The Careers teachers will be on hand to answer questions about how course selection has bearing on studies at Middle School, Senior School and at tertiary institutions.
To assist you with the course selection process the 2019 Handbooks are now available on the school website homepage and below:
We look forward to your company on this important evening for your son/daughter.
