Upcoming Course Selection for 2024

As we reach the mid-year break, I wanted to take the opportunity to inform parents that the start of Term 3 sees us start planning for 2024. Students in Years 7-11 will be presented with many options and decisions regarding their studies for next year.

 

Decisions around course selections can be complex. With this in mind, we encourage students to pursue passions and talents and keep their options open for future pathways. As a College we pride ourselves on the support and direction we provide students and parents with during this time.

 

We are planning to conduct parent information evenings to provide direction and information.

  • Information Evening for Year 9 students moving into Year 10 will take place on Thursday 20 July.
  • Information Evening for Year 10 students moving into Year 11 will take place on Thursday 27 July

All Year 9, 10 and 11 students will also have a meeting with a course counsellor to discuss suitability of choices. These course counselling interview will take place via Microsoft Teams and parents are most welcome to attend with their child. Further communications regarding this will be provided to parents and students via Compass early next term.

 

The dates for course counselling are:

 

Year 12 2024- Thursday 27 July

Year 10 2024 (Current 9G-9L) - Tuesday 1 August

Year 11 2024- Wednesday 2 August

Year 10 2024 (Current 9A-9F) - Thursday 3 August

 

Students and parents will have access to subject handbooks which have been posted on Compass newsfeed and on the College website. We do encourage that these are referenced over the break and that students are engaging in discussions with their families about possible options for their future studies.
