Expression of Interest - Accelerated Studies of Religion
For the attention of our Year 10 students, and their families,
At St Paul's College, we offer an accelerated pathway for students who are willing, and able, to complete HSC Studies of Religion in one year, rather than two. These students begin the course from, Term 4 this year, through until the HSC exam in Term 4 next year.
This has been a successful process for many St Paul's students over the past years. However, it isn't suitable for all students. Many students benefit from not being accelerated because acceleration is a demanding pathway. Some students appreciate more time to develop their writing and application skills. For this reason, the College will look at the expressions of interest and decide which students are most suitable. The invitation to students will be based on academic data compiled by the College across a number of years.
Students chosen for the accelerated class will be expected to maintain a minimum standard of application throughout the accelerated pathway. If this is not maintained, they may be asked to return to the non-accelerated pathway.
If you would like to be considered for the accelerated pathway, please complete this form by Friday 29 August.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you and God Bless
Mr Brendan Goswell - Leader of Catechesis
