This week we welcomed our current Year 10 students and parents to the College to consider their subject selections for Year 11 2026. Choosing wisely and choosing well was the theme of the evening and I’d like to remind our students of the factors to balance this choice are interest, challenge and realism. Please continue to reach out to your teachers and Leaders of Learning for support as you go through this important transition process.
