Year 11 2025 Course Selection Process

Next week Year 10 students will receive some introductory documents for Year 11 2025 Course Selection via the google classroom. Students are encouraged to read these documents with their parents/carers.

These documents 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 2024, Semester 1 grades will be used to determine the courses which students are automatically eligible for. 

In Week 5, students will receive the Course 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 course specific questions and begin considering the learning pathway 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 Course Selection process or HSC pathways, please contact Ms Miller or Mr Teuma.

Year 11 Parents and Guardians are encouraged to book interviews with your child’s teachers to discuss their progress and determine strategies to prepare for the second half of their preliminary HSC year. Interviews are being held on Wednesday 29 May between 4pm and 8pm in the Champagnat Centre. 

Bookings will open via Compass on Wednesday 8th May. A guide on how to make a booking can be seen here. If you are experiencing any issues with logging into Compass or making any appointments, please contact Mrs Rina Domingo via an email to domingor01@dow.catholic.edu.au.
