2021 Subject Selections

Parents and guardians of students in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 are reminded that digital subject selection preference forms must be submitted to the school by no later than Tuesday August 18th.

Prior to submitting the completed selection form, please ensure that all requested information has been provided including the student name and year level at the top of the form.

Completed forms are to be returned to the following email address:

selections@ignatius.vic.edu.au

Blank forms for each of the relevant year levels can be downloaded from the Canvas 2021 Subject Pathways course. A link to this course is provided here:

Students who wish to make separate application to accelerate in a subject or who wish to undertake a VCAL pathway at Years 11 or 12 in 2021 must return those applications to the same email address as well by Tuesday August 18th.

We look forward to processing student selections after that date and thank you in anticipation of returning these completed forms by the designated date.

New Remote and Flexible Canvas Course

With the introduction of the second phase of remote and flexible learning, the school has created a new Canvas course that provides parents and guardians with access to the adjusted subject focus at every level [7 to 12] between now and when the current period of Stage 3 restrictions in Regional Victoria is due to be reviewed or conclude.

As well as detailing the focus of learning, this information lists the required assessment task/s to be completed in that time and is intended to help families manage learning continuity at home.

All students are enrolled in this course and parents and guardians can access this as observers as they would do in viewing feedback on student formative and summative tasks.

This Canvas course can be accessed via the following link and we invite you to look at the relevant subjects your daughter or son is undertaking this Semester to keep abreast of what is being delivered remotely.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we endeavour to provide effective learning remotely.
