2024 Subject Selections
Although it may seem a long way off, students will begin the process of researching information and selecting their subjects for 2024 at the beginning of term 3.
Each Year level from 8-11 will have a student assembly to explain the process of selecting subjects in Week 1 and 2 of term 3. These presentations will be recorded and posted on the website so that parents can be informed of all of the relevant information.
We will conduct a subject selection Expo for students in Year 10 – 11 and 9-10. On Wednesday July 19th in Period 3 and 4. The Expo will give students and parents an opportunity to discuss individual subject curriculum, expectations, assessment and possible career pathways with experienced Senior School teachers at the school. This part of the Expo will be set up in C Block.
In the Senior Study Centre, we will have tertiary representatives that students can discuss post Vermont Secondary College study and employment options with. Year 11 and 12 students will be invited to visit this section of the Expo at recess on Wednesday July 19.
Parents of Year 10 and 9 students will be invited to attend the Expo with their child. Year 10 students will attend the expo in Period 3, parents are invited to come to the school and meet their child at the flagpole at 11.50 pm. Year 10 will have an early finish at lunchtime due to the size of the event. Year 9 students will attend the event in Period 4 and parents are invited to come to the school and meet their child at the flagpole at 2.00pm.
Web Preference (our software program that students enter their subject choices in) will open on Friday July 21st.
Year 9-10 and 10 -11 students will have an individual course counselling session with a staff member at the college in Week 3 or 4 in term 3.
Students will have to have made their subject choices and submitted them on the Web Preferences site by Wednesday August 9th.
Please see specific information for individual year levels on their own page of this newsletter.
