Year 11 2025 Course Selection Process

Next week Year 10 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.

Parents and students of Year 10 please note the following key dates:

• 19 June 2024: Year 11 2025 Course Selection Information Evening

From 6:30pm, KLA Coordinators and specialist teachers will be available in the Champagnat Centre to answer questions regarding the courses that they have on offer. At 7:00pm, members of the College Leadership Team will present information on patterns of study (ATAR/non-ATAR), HSC expectations and the process of selecting courses for 2025. Students will also receive their personalised Course Eligibility Letter.

27 June 2024: Course Market

This is an opportunity for students to engage in short lessons, to gain an understanding of the requirements of each course and to speak with specialist teachers. Students will not be able to attend every subject offered, so the Course Selection Handbook is used to help refine the list of courses that you may wish to find out more about. This will occur at the College during periods 1 to 5.

7 August 2024: Course Selection Interviews

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. Bookings for these interviews will open towards the end of this term. 

Students are also expected to attend both the Information Evening and Course Selection Interviews in their full College winter uniform.

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. 

Year 11 Half Yearly Academic Reports will be available via Compass on Friday 24 May.
