It's Course Selection Time

We are coming to that time of the year when Year 10 and 11 students have to make important selections regarding their courses for 2022. Year 10 students have already been given a helping hand in Humanities & Social Science (HASS) classes to clarify their future directions. For most students in Year 11, they will simply be following the pathways they chose for 2021.

All students should keep in mind that they should not make selections based on what their friends are doing or what is easy. Parents play an important role at this time of year to help students make responsible decisions. Guidelines will be provided at the parent information night (details below). The school will generate a timetable based on the needs and decisions made by the students. Once the timetable is set, there should be minimal course changes and only the most valid reasons will be accepted.

Selection Forms must be handed in by:  
Year 11 (going into Year 12, 2022) Thursday 29 July 
Year 10 (going into Year 11, 2022) Tuesday 3 August

Please also note that high cost courses must be paid in full (100%) in advance, as highlighted in red in the booklets. We are unable to accept selections forms without payment or a copy of your direct deposit receipt.  Thank you.

Year 10 Parent Information Night (Year 11, 2022)

This parent information evening unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the snap lockdown.  Information has been emailed to parents and placed on website

Exams are over!

Year 10 students will have completed their first set of exams.  We hope that for Year 10 students this experience provides another piece of information to help inform them of their course decisions for 2022. 

Year 11 and 12 students should use the exam experience to refine their study program for the rest of the year.,  Now is the time to get organised and 'study smart'. Students should discuss with their teachers how to best study in their particular subject. Students who need extra fact sheets, treasure your mistakes sheets or study plan documents should collect these from my office. 

We also hope that those students returning from work placement will have extra incentive to work hard and achieve their best results. 

Finally I wish all our students a successful and rewarding finish to the semester and a safe and enjoyable term break.
