Stage 6 Course Selection
Our Year 10 students are well into their Stage 6 Course Selection journey now, and are currently involved in their mentor interviews to assist in finalising their choices for senior schooling. Over the past few weeks they have been involved in a number of workshops where our Heads of Department have presented the options available for them, which total some 37 courses on offer. A reminder that these forms are due back to the College on 6 September.
Stage 5 Course Selection
Our Year 8 parents should have received their first communication regarding Stage 5 Course Selection and on Wednesday this week students attended a workshop on the process they are about to undertake. An electives information guide has been given to each student to take home to parents, and Year 8 will hear from our Heads of Department about the various courses on offer during PC sessions in the next three weeks.
Homework Club and Maths Study
A reminder about our Homework Club and Mathematics Study, which are two of the fantastic out-of-school opportunities that the College offers students.
Homework Club is open every Monday afternoon from 3.15pm - 4.15pm in the Marian Centre. During this time, students can complete homework and prepare for assessments in the supervised and friendly atmosphere of the Marian Centre. Homework Club is facilitated by the Academic Care Team and different KLA staff are available each week to help students.
Year 11 and 12 students have their own study area and there will be specific activities designed to assist our senior students in preparing for their HSC. Our Inclusive Education team will also be on hand to provide Year 7 – 10 students with assistance.
We would encourage all families, but particularly our Seniors, and our Year 7 students, to come and be a part of Homework Club.
Each Wednesday, the Mathematics staff also offer Mathematics Study from 3.15 - 4.15pm. Again, this is a wonderful opportunity for our boys to receive that extra little bit of assistance that will help them understand and excel in Mathematics.
Trial HSC Examinations
Our Year 12 students successfully completed their final HSC Assessments last week, as the Trial HSC Examinations wrapped up. Congratulations to these boys on their behaviour and punctuality throughout the two weeks of exams. There are just 5 weeks remaining to consolidate your knowledge and begin revision in your courses in the lead-up to the HSC Exams next term.
Year 11 Preliminary Exams
Year 11 families and students have been sent an examination timetable and letter home outlining the expectations throughout the Preliminary Exam period. If you have not received this, please contact me.
