ASSESSMENT POLICY UPDATE - TERM 3, 2022

I detailed an important update to the Assessment Policy in last week's Newsletter. You can revisit this information HERE.

SUBJECT SELECTION FOR YEAR 11, 2023

Parents and caregivers of Year 10 students have received an email about the subject selection process. Students are required to use Subject Selection Online (SSO) to make an appointment with their subject advisor. Parents/caregivers are welcome to attend the interview with the subject advisor, but this is not compulsory. Interviews must be completed by Tuesday 9 August. Parents have received an email with a 5-digit PIN required to finalise the subject selection form.
