Important information about changing subjects

Changing subjects term 3 and 4 2022

Students can contact the Assistant Principal Learning and Teaching (DBourne@saintpatricks.nsw.edu.au) for changes this term and next term. At this stage, we can often accommodate changes, but they are not guaranteed. Some subjects are full.

Changing subjects after term 4 2022

Students are asked to choose wisely and carefully throughout the subject selection process as changing subjects once the course has begun creates difficulties for both students and staff.

Some changes can be accommodated after the commencement of the new academic year, but not all and these should happen in the first few weeks of the year (usually before the end of February). The further advanced the academic year, the more difficult it will be for Coordinators to be able to accept students wishing to change to another subject.

An application for course change must be submitted to the Assistant Principal Learning and Teaching. The Assistant Principal will only approve a change of subject if there are places available in the course and she is convinced that the student can complete all work set and be assessed effectively in the new subject

A change of subject form will be available in 2023 from the Year 11 Assessment Pages and students must consult the Careers Advisor as well as the Subject Coordinator.

The final date for change of course requests is 24 February 2023
