Year 11 2023 Subject Selection

Subject Selection Interviews are on this Wednesday (3 August). These interviews will be conducted in the College Library. 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. If you are unable to attend interviews on this date, please contact Mrs Kripal (kripala01@dow.catholic.edu.au) to make an alternate arrangement for a time and date, before 3 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.

Year 12 Trial Examinations

The examinations will take place on Monday 1 August - Monday 15 August. Yr 12 will resume regular lessons on Tuesday 16th August. 

Students are reminded to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time of their exams. If students have morning and afternoon examinations they are not permitted to leave the College between examinations. Students are welcome to stay after an examination to study in the Library or arrive earlier in the day to study before an afternoon examination. In these instances students will be required to sign in at the Library and remain in this space to study. On days students do not have a scheduled examination they are also welcome to attend the Library to study. A reminder that they can only sign in and out of the Library once during the school day. 

To also assist students with their preparations and study, the College Library will be open on additional evenings (3:30-6:30pm) during Week 3 and 4. A schedule of these times has been shared with Yr 12 students. Please note that the additional evenings are only for Yr 12 students. Yr 11 students continue to be welcome to attend Senior Study on Tuesdays.

If, for any reason you are ill or cannot attend the examination because of an accident or misadventure, you must contact the College to inform Mr Harpley (harpleyk01@dow.catholic.edu.au), Ms Gardner (gardnerm01@dow.catholic.edu.au) , Ms Miller (millerc06@dow.catholic.edu.au) and Mrs Kripal (kripala01@dow.catholic.edu.au) as soon as possible. The general rule is that the student is to attend the examination if possible, unless there is significant medical advice not to do so. If a student does miss an examination, they must follow the College Illness/Misadventure process. Mrs Kripal or Ms Miller will be in contact with students to make arrangements for missed examinations.
