Minimum Standards Testing
This week we have continued the rollout of HSC Minimum Standards Testing with Yr 10. Students who did not complete the Writing Test, held earlier in Term 1, have re-sat the test today. Numeracy and Reading tests will be completed before the end of Term 2. For students in Yrs 11 and 12 who are required to complete aspects of the test still, support will be arranged for these students in coming weeks with the view to scheduling another opportunity to sit these tests before the end of the term.
2021 Subject Selection Process
We are currently in the final stages of preparing our subject selection processes and resources for electives in 2021. This includes students progressing from Yr 10 to Yr 11 as well as electives in Yrs 9 and 10.
Due to current social restrictions, we have needed to adapt our usual process. Instead on an information night for parents and students, we are moving to an online process. Each KLA is currently creating a series of short videos for the subjects we will be offering. These videos will be placed on our school website along with a range of other resources. When completed students and parents will be able to access this information in their own time to assist with the process of subject selection.
We hope to have this process available before the end of the term. Yr 10 will be required to submit their selections for Yr 11 2021 in early Term 3. Yrs 8 and 9 will then follow with their selections in the first weeks of Term 3. More detail will be provided as it becomes available.
