From the Director of Learning

Secondary school is a critical time for students to explore and uncover their interest areas and passions, laying the groundwork for future pathways. It's a time of discovery, where students can begin to identify what excites them and where their strengths lie. Making thoughtful decisions about subject selections is a key part of this journey, setting the stage for both academic success and personal fulfilment.

Last Tuesday, Saint Ignatius hosted the much-anticipated 2025 Subject Selection Expo, and it was an incredible success! Students from year 8-11 l had the opportunity to meet with staff from across various Learning Areas, exploring the diverse subject pathways available to them. The expo was a vibrant hub of information, guidance, and inspiration, helping students make informed decisions about their academic futures.

The expo allowed students to engage in meaningful conversations with teachers, gaining insights into different subjects and how they align with their interests and future ambitions. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to ask questions, gather resources, and understand the prerequisites for various pathways, ensuring they can tailor their education to their individual goals.

Selecting the right subjects is a crucial step in every student's educational journey. It is important for students to choose subjects that not only spark their interest but also pave the way for their future career aspirations. Whether it's STEM, humanities, arts, or vocational education, aligning subjects with personal passions and ambitions is key to a fulfilling and successful academic experience.
