As a College, we encourage families to work with their child/children to select courses and subjects that best suit their needs. In particular we suggest:
- Reading the course guide/subject descriptions carefully.
- Giving serious consideration to courses and subjects that:
- interest your child
- your child is good at
- lead to employment that they find appealing
- are prerequisites for further study
- have assessment requirements to suit their learning style and ability
- Having your child ask questions from the Campus Learning Advisors, Careers team and VCAL and VET Coordinators if unsure.
Finally, student subject choices are used to determine what classes will run in 2020, as such, it is important that:
- subjects choices are made after careful consideration
- the deadlines listed above are met
The College cannot guarantee that your child will be able alter their selections by changing a subject or course once subject selections close and/or the new year has commenced.
If parents or guardians have any questions about the subject selection process please contact your son or daughter’s Campus Learning Advisor or Ms Tanya Hutton, Deputy Principal – Learning and Teaching.
