Learning & Teaching at the College
Year 12 Trial Examinations conclude this week
The Trial HSC Examinations will conclude on Monday 19 August. Year 12 will resume regular lessons on Wednesday 21 August, following their Retreat Reconnector Day on Tuesday 20 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 also 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.
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 Harpley, Mr Lozelle, Ms Miller and Mr Teuma 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. Mr Teuma or Ms Miller will be in contact with students to make arrangements for missed examinations.
Year 11 2025 Course Selection
Course Selection Interviews
Thank you to the students of Year 10 and parents for their participation in the Yr 11 2025 Course Selection process. Now that selections have been entered, we are now able to begin generating the timetable lines for next year. Students will receive their final confirmation of courses in early Term 4.
Stage 5 2025 Elective Course Selection
21 August 2024: Stage 5 2025 Information Night
From 6:30pm, KLA Coordinators and specialist teachers will be available to answer questions regarding the electives that they have on offer. This will take place in S block.
At 7:00pm, members of the College Leadership Team will present information regarding the process of selecting electives for 2025. This section of the evening will take place in the Champagnat Centre.
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 2025. If students are not able to attend, parents/carers are asked to communicate this to Ms Armour (Year 8 Coordinator).
Students in Year 9 may like to attend between 6:30 - 7:00pm to speak with KLA representatives about courses.
Students are expected to attend the Information Night in their full College winter uniform.
All information regarding elective selection will be communicated to students via the Stage 5 Electives Selections Google Classroom. All students currently in Yr 8 and 9 should ensure that they have joined this Google Classroom. The Elective Selection Handbook has now been shared with students via this google classroom.
