Home Study Days
A reminder to parents and students that Friday 23 August and Monday 26 August are Home Study days.
Absences
Parents/guardians are reminded to call the College before 8:45am if your child is going to be absent for the day. A written note or medical certificate is still required on their return.
Parent/Student Seminar: Road Safety
The Parent Committee has secured an excellent guest speaker, Mr Rob Pike, for a presentation based around choices and their consequences on Tuesday 13 August from 7pm at the Br Patrick Forum. The presentation is more than a road safety message and is highly recommended for BOTH parents/guardians and students; particularly those who are gaining their independence on the roads. Students in Year 10 are completing their Keys for Life during Health Education classes and this presentation would complement the course. RSVP to aroberts@norbert.wa.edu.au by Monday 12 August for catering and seating purposes. If you have not attended a Parent Seminar previously, this is the one to attend!

Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews
Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews were held at the College on Wednesday 31 July. As many as 1015 interviews took place between teachers and families which reflects the great importance that both parents and the College place in meeting to discuss student progress. Opportunities such as the Parent/Student/Teacher interviews are essential as it emphasises the three-way partnership that must exist for students to get the most of their time here at St Norbert College. Through regular communication, parents and teachers can work together to ensure that students are making the most of their educational opportunities
Year 10 Subject Selection
The Year 10 subject selection process is drawing to a close with students having until 9am on Monday morning to finalise their selections. By this time, all students are required to have selected a pathway that they have been accepted into studying – either by achieving the Minimum Entry Requirements or be being granted permission by the Head of Learning Area to study the course.
The final step in this process occurs this coming Tuesday, 6 August when we conduct the Year 10 Subject Selection Interviews. These commence at 3.30pm and will be held in the BP Forum. Families have already been given their appointment details at the Year 10 Parent Information Evening last term, however, the list of interview times will be published next Monday morning for Year 10 students to confirm their appointment time. Both the student and a parent are required to attend the evening as there is important paperwork that needs to be completed at the interview.
