Course Confirmation for 2018

Course Confirmation Day for students in Years 9, 10 and 11 is on Wednesday 2nd August from 8am to 8pm. This is a pupil free day; students only need to attend for their scheduled appointment. Bookings for this day will open on Compass for Year 9 at 9am Friday June 30 and for Year 10 and 11 at 9am Monday July 17. Bookings close at 4pm Monday July 31. Please book one appointment per student only. (Do not book with multiple teachers.) Each student only needs to see one teacher on the day who will guide them through the course confirmation process. This teacher will not necessarily be one of their current classroom teachers.

The 2018 Senior School Handbooks have been distributed to students and should be used in preparation for Course Confirmation Day. Year 9 and 10 students are asked to attend the Careers and Pathways Expo on Thursday July 27 with their Handbooks, and to complete the Course Confirmation Passport on page 101. The Senior School Handbooks should then be brought to the course confirmation appointment with the planning documents completed.

While Year 9 and 10 students are asked to attend the Expo, students in all year levels are encouraged to go to visit the tertiary providers’ stands, hear alumni speeches, and listen to panel discussions (made up of tertiary providers and alumni) on a variety of career areas.

Year 10 Work Experience

The majority of Year 10 students will be entering the world of work for 5 days, beginning on Monday 26 June. There are no Year 10 classes running during this week. We wish each student well in their placement, and trust they will represent themselves and the school in an exemplary manner. Staff will be making contact with employers throughout the week to see how each student is progressing through their placement.

The Careers and Pathways Expo is coming!
