Learning & Teaching at the College

    Year 12 Final Weeks in the Classroom

    Students in Year 12 are fast approaching the end of their formal lessons at the College. These last few weeks are crucial in consolidating their learning, receiving feedback from their teachers, and working collaboratively to maximise their efforts. Attendance in class is therefore an essential component of accessing the support they need from their teachers and each other. Each of their subjects are running seminars on specific topics, workshops on exam skills, offering practice questions and strategies for improvement. During the Spring Holiday Break some subject workshops will be offered, as well as “Exam Experience” sessions, where students will be able to come and complete an exam paper under exam conditions.

    Year 12 Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews - Reminder to make a booking

    Parent/Teacher/Student Interviews provide an opportunity for parents, students, and teachers to meet with their class teachers to review academic progress and discuss areas for growth. This conversation provides parents and students with valuable feedback and enables them to ask questions to support their child as they near the completion of their High School Certificate. Interviews for Year 12 2022 are being held on Wednesday 7 September between 4pm and 8pm in the Champagnat Centre. Further to the upcoming interviews, please note that Academic Reports will be distributed at the Graduation Ceremony and will be made available via Compass in Week 10. Interview sessions can be booked online through the Compass Parent Portal. 

    Year 11 Preliminary Examinations

    The Year 11 Preliminary Examinations will take place between Monday 12 September - Tuesday 20 September. Regular lessons will resume on Wednesday 21 September.

    Year 11 students are encouraged to make the most of the learning opportunities that this examination period can provide. This is an important time for them to exercise their focus on their learning goals and execute strategies to study and revise and work out what best works for them in preparing for examinations. Students are encouraged to continue to work with their teachers on revision, practise questions and to seek feedback. The Library is open on Tuesday afternoons between 3:30 -6:00pm, should students wish to utilise this space to study.
