Learning & Teaching at the College

    YR12 Trial Examinations Continue

    The examinations will conclude on Monday 14 August. Yr 12 will resume regular lessons on Wednesday 16th August, following the Retreat Reconnector Day on Tuesday 15 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 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 again this week from 3:30-6:30pm. Please note that the additional evenings are only for Yr 12 students. Yr 10 and 11 students continue to be welcome to attend Senior Study on Tuesdays.

    If, for any reason, students are ill or cannot attend the examination because of an accident or misadventure, you must contact the College to inform Mrs Pearce, Mr Lozelle, Ms Miller and Miss Toogood 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. Miss Toogood or Ms Miller will be in contact with students to make arrangements for missed examinations.

    Stage 5 Elective Course Selection

    Today students in Year 8 and 9 received the Electives Selection Handbook and videos about each of the courses we are offering for Stage 5 2024.

    A reminder that we have the Stage 5 2024 Electives Information Night this coming Wednesday 16 August. From 6:30pm, KLA Coordinators and specialist teachers will be available in the Champagnat Centre to answer questions regarding the electives that they have on offer. At 7:00pm, members of the College Leadership Team will present information regarding the process of selecting electives for 2024. For students who are currently in Year 8, attendance at the Information Night is fundamental to ensuring that an informed decision is made when nominating their elective selections for 2024. Students in Year 9 are encouraged to attend however given their familiarity with the process (having completed it in Year 8 2022), attendance is not required. Students are expected to attend the information night in their full College winter uniform.
