Subject Changes
Year 11 students and parents were advised of this process and timeline. Reminder students and parents can access the interview booking sheet via SIA. Deadline for changes is this Friday 2 February.
Students in Year 9 and 10 can apply for an elective subject change by visiting the office of Mrs Munckton and Mrs Allen by this Thursday 1 February at either lunch or afternoon tea.
Students who wish to apply for a program amendment (study) due to an external course such as TAFE, a Traineeship or SUN, need to see Ms O'Donnell for the application form. These changes will not be processed until your course begins.
Middle School
Year 7 and Year 9 students will sit the NAPLAN online tests from Wednesday 13 March – Monday 25 March. There will be an opportunity for students to participate in practice NAPLAN tests leading into the testing period.
If you have any concerns about NAPLAN or if you wish to withdraw your student from NAPLAN testing, please contact Megan Munckton, Dean of Middle School, megan_munckton@shalomcollege.com.
Please note: all students MUST have corded headphones or earphones to undertake the NAPLAN Online testing. This is the responsibility of families to ensure that students have their earphones or headphones for all test days, including the practice test. These headphones/earphones must have a 3.5mm standard jack. Wireless headphones (e.g., Apple air pods) are not compatible. If you need to purchase headphones or earphones, we suggest you do this as soon as possible. The uniform shop has a small supply of earphones for $6.
