Course Selection Process Year 12 2019
Yr 12 Course Selection 2018 – Wednesday August 29
Over the next few weeks current Year 11 students will be considering their course selection for Year 12, 2019. This involves investigating how current study plans connect to a student’s future pathway. The selection of Year 12 subjects is an important decision and requires an understanding of the pathways available. Students need to be clear about their future pathways and current level of achievement and select subjects accordingly. It is also important to note that student achievement in Year 11 will be taken into consideration during the course selection process.
There are a number of students who have received two or more N results in semester 1. The school’s promotion policy states that students must achieve a Satisfactory result in at least 75% of the units undertaken in a calendar year. For a Year 11 VCE student this typically means that no more than three N’s can be awarded before promotion to Year 12 is placed in jeopardy.
Students will be considering their subject choices between Friday August 10 and Friday August 17. Students will then be required to submit their subject selection forms to the front office no later than Friday August 17 together with any subject levies. Students that have not paid learning and subject levies by Friday 17 August will not have their subject choices confirmed.
Students will then be required to attend a course selection interview on Wednesday August 29 with senior staff member at the College.
We encourage you to attend this course selection day with your son/daughter in order to be part of the decision-making process for their 2019 course selection.
Parents and students will be allocated a time to attend a subject confirmation session between 8:30am-10:00am and 4:00pm-7:00pm on this day.
Information regarding this day will be sent out early August.
The College looks forward to meeting with you and your son/daughter to finalise enrolment for 2019.
