Parent Engagement Opportunities

Unit 4 Student Parent Teacher Conferences

Thank you to all students, parents, guardians and staff who engaged in the recent Unit 4 student/parent/teacher conferences. As we approach the end of Term 3, I encourage our students to carefully consider the recommendations that they may have heard at their interviews or even in class. The remaining five weeks are a busy time as we finish our assessments, so it is important that we balance our study with personal time and work consistently in class and at home. Please reach out to the appropriate staff if you have any concerns.

Year 9 and 10 Pathway Interviews

Thank you to the parents and guardians who were able to attend the recent Year 9 and 10 Pathway Interviews. It was great to hear that many of our students were organised for the pathway conversation. Thank you to the 61 staff who helped guide the individual conversation. Our new initiative of submitting subject preferences online was very successful.

Subject Selection Process

The College now has the important job of collating all student information and constructing the 2023 timetable. If a subject offered is not running in 2023, the affected students will be allocated their Reserve preference and also notified by the College Timetabler, Craig Browne. Students will receive their 2023 allocation of subjects in Term 4.

Staff PL day August 22

On Monday 22 August, teaching staff will work on the curriculum mapping and review of Year 7 and 8 programs. This is part of our timetable review that is considering a restructure of time allocations and subjects on offer at Year 7 and 8. We look forward to the student contribution on this day as some students across year levels will join the staff as part of the consultative process. It should be noted that it is a student free day for all other students.
