In Week 9 this term on Tuesday 15 June, there will be an onsite presentation in the College Gymnasium going through the Subject Selection process at 6pm. This is a compulsory event for Year 10 students. Heads of Department will then be available in classrooms onsite from 6.30pm – 7.30pm for you to pop in with any individual questions that you may have following viewing the videos.
Students will not be asked to submit their initial selections until early Term 3 after the Parent/Teacher Interviews.
