Year 9 News - 23 July

Year 9 students continue their planning for 2027

Our Year 9 Students continue their planning for 2027

As our Year 9 students begin planning for the next stage of their learning journey, a reminder that Year 10 2027 subject selections must be completed in preparation for the Subject Selection Counselling Meeting on Friday 7 August. Please ensure that all required sections are completed and that all parent/carer and student signatures are included before 7 August.

Students are encouraged to take the time to carefully review their Semester 1 report and the feedback provided by their teachers. These comments offer valuable insights into strengths, areas for growth, and recommendations that can help inform subject choices for Year 10. Drawing on this feedback will assist students in selecting subjects that align with their interests, abilities, and future aspirations.

Year 10 Transition Excursion

Our Year 10 Transition Excursion to St Mary's on Wednesday was a fantastic success. Students engaged positively throughout the day and gained valuable information about senior school pathways, subject options, and future opportunities. The feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive, with many reporting that the experience helped them better understand the choices available to them and the pathways they may wish to pursue.

We thank the staff at St Mary's for their hospitality and support, and congratulate our Year 9 students on the mature and respectful manner in which they conducted themselves. The excursion provided a great deal of valuable information and insight that will assist students as they make important decisions about their future studies.

Subject selections are due by Friday 7 August, so we encourage families to continue discussions at home and complete the process before the deadline.
