Learning & Teaching at the College
Year 11 2024
Year 10 students have now received some introductory documents for Yr 11 2024 Subject Selection via the google classroom. Students are encouraged to read these documents with their parents/carers.
These document include:
- Understanding Key Concepts which explains information relating to Stage 6 studies including the requirements to receive an ATAR.
- Process Timeline with key dates that are significant in your subject selection process.
- Entry Requirements for automatic eligibility in courses on offer. As explained at the beginning of 2023, Semester 1 grades will be used to determine the courses which students are automatically eligible for.
Next week, students will receive the Subject Information Handbook which will contain descriptions of the courses that will be offered as well as requirements of Year 11 and 12 patterns of study.
Students are encouraged to speak with their class teachers or KLA coordinators, if they have subject specific questions and begin considering the learning pathway that they wish to pursue for Year 11 and 12. Mr Daniels (Transition and Pathways Coordinator) is also a valuable resource for advice on TAFE, university and career pathways. Mr Clark (VET Coordinator) can also assist in answering any questions about School-Based Apprenticeships and TAFE VET courses, which students may wish to study in conjunction with courses at the College. For any questions regarding the Subject Selection process or HSC pathways, please contact Ms Miller or Ms Toogood.
