Year 11 2026 Course Selection
Year 10 will commence the Year 11 2026 Course Selection Process in the coming weeks. Please be aware there are two significant events in the process that involve parent/carer and student attendance:
Wednesday 18 June 2025; Term 2, Week 8 - Course Selection Information Evening
Wednesday 6 August 2025; Term 3, Week 3 - Course Selection Interviews
The Course Selection Handbook will be available electronically in Week 5. This booklet will outline each course that the College will offer for students to consider in developing their preferences for course selection.
In Week 5, Year 10 students will receive some introductory documents for Year 11 2026 Course Selection via 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 2025, Semester 1 grades will be used to determine the courses which students are automatically eligible for.
- 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 (Vocational Education (VET) Coordinator) can also assist in answering any questions about School-Based Apprenticeships (SBAT), TAFE VET (TVET) or External VET (EVET) 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.
