The College uses an online system for the students to nominate their subject selections for Stage 6.
Students will receive an email with a link and a password to access the system in mid-June. Students should complete their subject selections online, print the confirmation, and submit this in hard copy form via the box outside the Executive Assistant to the Director of Curriculum’s office on Level 1 by Thursday, 28 July.
