Year 10 2019 into Year 11 2020

I would firstly like to congratulate our year 10 students on the maturity and thought they have put into the decision making process for selecting subjects for year 11 2020. This week, our careers advisor has met with a number of students and their parents regarding future interests and their implications on subject choice.

It was also pleasing to see a large number of students and parents present at the Year 10 into 11 Information Night on Tuesday 13th August. I hope you all found the night helpful, with a number of our KLA coordinators and TAFE representative commenting on the interest shown by our students in choosing courses.

Whilst there has been a lot of information given to students over the past week, I would like to stress the following as important considerations when selecting your course of study:

• Abilities - choose subjects in which you are capable of doing well
• Interests - choose subjects which you are interested in
• Motivation - choose subject areas which you want to study
• Career aspirations and needs - be realistic about your career choices and about your subject choices.

I look forward to seeing all year 10 students with their parent/guardian(s) on Monday 19th August for i-day. All interviews will occur in the Languages Centre in L3 and L4. A list will be on display in the Languages Centre foyer with the teacher you have been assigned to.

Regards

Mr J Seers
