It is wonderful to hear the sound of students; the school grounds are a hub of ‘socially distanced’ activity, once again, in the 2020 continuity of learning adventure…😊
Subject Selection Information booklets
Subject Information Handbooks will be made available on Parent and Student Portals over the Mid-year holidays. A Junior booklet for Years 9 and 10, 2021 and a Senior booklet for Year 10 into 11, 2021. Subject selections will occur in Term 3 using a web-based program (accessible from home) called WebPreferences.
In addition, and in response, to restrictions due to COVID-19, we have made the decision to move our Subject Selection EXPO information to a virtual platform. Heads of Department (HODs) are currently developing engaging snapshots of all subjects (junior and senior) for students and parents to access as they consider subjects for 2021. More information will be provided as the resources go live…
Year 10s moving into Senior Schooling
Year 10s, as a cohort, are soon to move into the Senior School. This is the time for them to focus on their individual pathway and choose subjects that will best support them as they move forward. Mrs Ambrose (Careers Counsellor) and Mr Nielsen (VET & TTC Director) will be conducting SETPlan (Senior Education & Training Plan) interviews with parents and students end of this term and beginning of next term. For students who are confident in their decision to move into the Vocational Education & Training (VET) course, Mr Nielsen is available to meet with students and parents. All other students, and their parents, should book an interview time with Mrs Ambrose.
Heads of Department are all available for students and parents to seek guidance from, as am I. Please do not hesitate to contact the school to speak to one of us regarding options – our preference is that all students are fully informed before they make any decisions. Information regarding SETPlans and booking interviews will be emailed home shortly; please book your appointment as soon as possible.
