Year 9 Students - Essential Core Offer for Year 10 2026
Last week a small number of Year 9 parents received correspondence from me with the invitation for their student to be placed into some Essential Core classes in Year 10. Parents could you please ensure that you have checked your emails in case you received an invitation for your child. Thank you to those parents who have responded already.
Please select either accept or decline for each subject offered. We need a response for each subject. We would like to have these offers finalised by the end of this week so that we can start looking at timetabling.
Year 11
This is a timely reminder to parents and student regarding assessment in the senior school. If a student does not submit a final response to an assessment and where evidence of student progress is available (draft or classwork), teachers will make judgments based on this. If a student provided no evidence on or before the due date, and no other evidence is available, a student will receive a ‘Not Rated’. This could meant that no credit can be given towards their QCE for that unit of learning.
Senior assessment is bound by QCAA guidelines around Academic Integrity and Assessment processes. Your student may miss the opportunity to complete assessment if their absence does not relate to an approved absence, unforeseen illness, or misadventure. Student undertaking Vocational Placement, Work Experience or other pathway opportunities must attend school for scheduled exams regardless of these days.
