Subject Selection Year 11 2026
Thank you to all parents/carers who made the time to meet with the Learning and Teaching Team to choose your child's subjects for Year 11 2026. This is an incredibly important part of their schooling journey and we appreciate your support to ensure that together we are a partnership in your child’s education. We are currently forming the lines based on initial selections and these will go to the students for a final selection in the coming weeks.
2026 Short Course Electives Year 9 and 10
Students who will be in Year 9 and 10 in 2026 have selected their electives based on our new Short Course handbook. This is an exciting time in the College as we explore totally new courses that are cross-curricular and offer real connections to industry in the community. Over the coming weeks the students will know more about which courses are successful in their offering.
Atomi
Congratulations to Lucas Morrison and Angelina Mathew who were the highest Atomi users over the last 7 days! The students both received a canteen voucher for their reward. Many students are using Atomi to revise for their upcoming exams and I encourage them to continue doing so!
Year 12 - Trial HSC Exams
Timetable
The trial exam period is 18 - 29 August. Our Year 12 students start their trial exams next week. Please support your young adults by ensuring the following:
- Make sure they are organised to be here on time. 30 mins before each exam.
- Please ensure they are eating healthy meals throughout this period. A healthy breakfast is essential when sitting a 3 hour exam.
- Bring all equipment. Especially for exams like maths and science based. Ensure they have plenty of pens and all necessary equipment.
- If they are staying at school to study throughout the day please ensure they sign in and out through the office. Then students are permitted to use the library to study.
Thank you for your support to ensure a successful trial period.
Year 11 Preliminary Exam Period
The Year 11 classes are working towards their preliminary exams in Week 9. This culminates the course for these students before they move into their HSC year which starts in Term 4. Encourage Year 11 students to work with their teachers for revision tasks during this period. Atomi is an excellent resource for these students at this time.
Attendance at school during the above two exam periods is mandatory. We do understand that there is a lot of sickness around at the moment. Students must follow the guidelines on the notification if they are unwell on the day of or the day before a task. This is incredibly important as it follows the necessary guidance from NESA in preparation for their HSC. Students are permitted to attend school for their exams and remain home when they do not have an exam. They are able to use the library to study in between if they wish. Please remember to sign in and out of the office if they are doing so.
Please reach out if you have any questions about the learning for your students.
