Learning & Teaching at the College
Year 7 - 10 Semester 1 Academic Reports
All parents of students in Years 7-10 will have electronic access to their child’s Semester 1 Academic Report after 3:30pm today. Reports are available via the Compass Parent Portal and can be accessed by following the instructions in the tutorial attached. This report provides a record of a student’s progress throughout the first half of this year. These reports may assist in guiding the discussion held at the Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews.
Year 7-10 Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews
Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews provide an opportunity for parents/carers and students to meet with their class teachers to review academic progress and discuss areas for growth. This conversation provides an opportunity for valuable feedback and enables parents/carers to ask questions to support students as they progress through their secondary education.
Bookings for the upcoming Year 7-10 Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews are still open via the Compass Parent Portal. Booking will close at 10am on Monday 27th June. As has been communicated earlier this week, we have had to cancel the previously advertised Thursday evening interview session. The interview bookings are available over the following two sessions:
Monday June 27: Interviews will be held at the College in the Champagnat Centre from 4pm - 8pm.
Friday July 1: Interviews will be held via Zoom from 8:30am - 12:30pm.
Instructions to assist in making bookings and accessing Zoom are available on Compass or via these links: Booking PTS Interviews and Join a Zoom meeting. If you choose to book interviews which will be held via Zoom, please refer to the 'Print Preview' screen (as per the instructions) for the Zoom code of each teacher.
Year 11 2023 Subject Selection
For students and parents/guardians who were unable to attend the Information Night, the presentation has now been added to the Yr 11 2023 Subject Selection google classroom.
Students will receive their Subject Eligibility forms on Monday 27th June. If students are not automatically eligible for a course, they must seek approval from the relevant KLA Coordinator. Times of their availability for these discussions will be published to students next week.
The next phase is the Subject Selection Interviews on the 3rd August. Students and parents/guardians will meet with a KLA Coordinator or Year Coordinator who will discuss the selections students wish to make and will ensure that their pattern of study is suitable for their intended pathway beyond school. Parents will be notified when these bookings will be open. Booking will be made via Compass. If you are unable to attend interviews on this date, please contact Mrs Kripal to make an alternate arrangement for a time and date, before 3rd August.
For any questions regarding the Subject Selection process or HSC pathways, please contact Ms Miller or Mrs Kripal. Mr Daniels (Careers and TAPS Coordinator) is also contactable to discuss post school pathways and Mr Clark (VET Coordinator) can be contacted to discuss EVET and SBAT options. Any inquiries about external courses (such as Language courses), can be directed to Ms Miller.

Next week Year 12 students will be receiving the finalised Trial Examination timetable and assessment notifications for each exam. The written exams will take place during Week 3, 4 and Monday of Week 5 in Term 3. Performances for Drama are scheduled for Week 2.
