2023 Year 11 Subject Selection
Year 10 have commenced a very exciting and challenging stage in their education. As the pathways ahead are varied, students and families are asked to make important decisions about a program of study for the next two years. It is time for Year 10 girls to think about the courses they want to study, to consider the careers that interest them and to seek advice from teachers and parents.
The College has developed information packages to assist families with their decision making. The Preliminary and HSC Course Selection Guidelines booklet was issued to Year 10 students this week. At that time, students were presented with information the course selection process and the HSC eligibility criteria.
The second resource is a Careers microsite (https://careers.saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au/subject-selections) that brings together information about choosing career goals, HSC and University (ATAR) eligibility requirements, and the stages in the Year 11 Subject Application Process that continue throughout Term 2. Soon, Year 10 students will submit an expression of interest in studying particular Year 11 courses. Together with student achievement data, this provides a starting point for academic counselling sessions later in the term.
In Week 7, the formal Subject Application Process begins. This week begins with the 2023 Year 11 Subject Information Evening for Year 10 students and families – 6 June, from 6:30pm, onsite at the College. KLA Coordinators, the Careers Advisor as well as College Leadership will provide further information and will be available to speak with students and their families.
St Patrick’s College is proud to work with Year 10 students in designing a program of senior secondary study through holistic education in the Good Samaritan Tradition. Any questions on decisions related to selecting a program of study can be directed to Dr Debra Bourne, Assistant Principal, Learning and Teaching or Mr Damien Williams, Careers Advisor. Queries related to specific courses should be directed to the KLA Coordinator and their contact details are available on the Careers microsite (https://careers.saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au/subject-selections).
