Year 10 Personal Futures

On Friday students participated in their Personal Futures Day. All students received a copy of the SET Plan Form (green A3 sheet). Each student must have a SET Plan in place as they move into Year 11. If your student was absent on Friday, they will need to collect their SET Plan Form from Student Reception as soon as possible. It is important that students do not lose this form.

This week Mr Maher will email Year 10 students the link and their unique code to access the WebChoice platform. Without this they will not be able to complete the online subject selection process. Please check that your student has received this email. It may be advisable for them to clear their email inbox to ensure they receive this important email.

2024 Senior School Subject Selection Information Evening -

will be held Tuesday 23 July in the Performing Arts Precinct commencing at 6.30pm.

During the evening there will be presentations on the new QCE and ATAR systems. As well as an explanation of the online subject selection process for Year 11. The process is like that used last year for Year 10 subject selections using the online portal (WebChoice). This portal will open on Tuesday 23 July.

After the presentations Heads of Department will be available in the foyer to discuss the various subjects on offer and answer questions that parents may have. Initial questions such as the content and structure of courses, contributing QCE credits and details of assessment can be answered by reading the 2025 Senior Subject Selection Guide. This document is available on the College website: https://sites.google.com/view/personal-futures-shalomcollege. Students can access all the Personal Futures resources in SIA by accessing their Subject Selection Dashboard and then select the Year 10 Personal Futures page.

If parents are unable to make this evening, the presentation slides will be available on the website and in SIA Wednesday.

SET Plan Interviews

These will take place all day on Monday 5 August. This will be a ‘work from home’ day for all Year 10 students. No Year 10 classes will run this day. Students can access any required class work through their SIA class page.

Parents were emailed information on Friday about how to book your child’s SET Plan interview and where it will take place. Please note students will need to bring their completed SET Plan Form (green A3 sheet), their laptop and the WebChoice information emailed to them. This will allow the SET Plan and online subject selection process to be finalised and submitted at the interview.
