During this time, Year 10 students will select the course of study they plan to undertake in 2027. Students and parents/guardians must make an appointment with a Course Counsellor to discuss the student's current progress, future pathways, and subjects best suited to them. This session is expected to take around 20 minutes, and students must attend thoroughly prepared, as we need to ensure that the student and their parents/guardians make an informed decision. Students will select the course of study they wish to pursue in 2027 at this meeting. Session times will be between 2pm and 8pm each day. Normal classes will run during periods 1 - 4. Year 10s will be dismissed at lunchtime.
Please be aware that International Students may need further counselling appointments.
We anticipate that student and subject groupings for 2027 should be finalised by early Term 4. During Term 4, all Senior School students will participate in Step-Up. Students will attend the subjects they have chosen or been allocated to and begin their senior program. They will also be given some work to complete over the holiday period and will undergo Verification Tests in Feb 2027.
