Assistant Principals' Report

Simon Jones

It has certainly been a very busy time with preparations now in full swing for 2017 course selections. Students in Years 9, 10 and 11 have been provided with information at school about the options available to them and the process for selecting courses.

Further, it was very encouraging to see so many students and parents in attendance at our recent Careers Expo and Information Evening. This shows that there is much support for the school program and strong interest in each student’s education. We hope that all who attended found the evening valuable in supporting informed decision-making about future student pathways. If further assistance or clarification is required, there are staff in the senior school who can be contacted by phone, email or Daymap message. If necessary, please contact your child’s Head of Year, Tracey Bastin (Head Of Senior School), Derry Caulfield (Careers) or myself.

Following this evening students are to be withdrawn from class to undergo a course counselling session, which will help and guide their selections for next year.

The subject information for each year level and the link to the selection program are now live on the College website. Students have been issued with a code that will allow them to access the selection program and choose their courses. Parents will need to sign-off on these selections and this form then needs to be returned to the Careers Office.

There is also a course counselling session set aside on the 10th August that parents and students can attend without an appointment. Course counsellors will be available in the staffroom between 3.30 and 6.30 to provide advice and expertise, should it be required.  

If there are any students who will not be returning in 2017, we would appreciate it if you could advise the school as exit paperwork will need to be completed and processed.
