Subject Selection 2026

As you are aware, the portal for submitting subject preferences closed on 28 August. I would like to thank all students and families for taking the time to approach this process with care and thoughtful consideration.

Prior to the deadline, every Year 9 and Year 10 student participated in a 1-1 Learning Pathway conversation. These discussions were designed to provide as much support as possible, helping students make informed and confident choices about their academic pathways.

We are now in the process of constructing the timetable for 2026, and students will receive confirmation of their subject preferences next term.

Thank you once again for your engagement and cooperation.

Booklist Provider

The College will continue to use Box of Books as the booklist provider. Further details will be sent to families once subject preferences have been confirmed.

PAT Testing: 7 and 8 October (Years 7-10)

We would like to inform parents and carers that students in Years 7 to 10 will be participating in the annual Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT) on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th October. This year, we are streamlining the process: students will complete both the Reading and Numeracy assessments on separate days, rather than across multiple lessons. All testing will take place in the LCH as per the schedule below:

Tuesday 7th October - PAT Reading

• Period 1: Year 7 Reading

• Period 2: Year 8 Reading

• Period 3: Year 9 Reading

• Period 4: Year 10 Reading

Wednesday 8th October - PAT Maths

• Period 1: Year 7 Numeracy

• Period 2: Year 8 Numeracy

• Period 3: Year 9 Numeracy

• Period 4: Year 10 Numeracy

These assessments help us better understand each student’s learning progress and support their academic development. Thank you for your continued support.
