Semester One examinations will only involve Years 9.

Students who are absent will receive a mark of 0% unless a medical certificate, statutory declaration, or pharmacy certificate is submitted to the Head of House or Miss Wilson.

Timetables and communication to families will be distributed in the coming weeks.

Subject Selection 2027

The Subject Selection Process begins in Term 3. This will be an extremely busy time of the year for all students, staff and parents, including Year Level Assemblies, a Senior Subject Selection Evening, Subject Selection Conversations and Web Preferences becoming available.

Year 9 - Application for Accelerated Subjects in 2027 Unit 1/2

Whilst invitations and applications are not expected until Term 3, I thought it prudent to provide an overview to the community, as the invitation to Y9 students is based on their Semester 1 assessment results. As a result, they only have the remainder of Term 2 to meet the criteria.

Overview for 2026 Year 9 students

Acceleration requires demonstrated consistent high academic achievement and an ability to take on the demands of an accelerated subject. Therefore, a student will need to be committed to their studies, be well organised and able to meet deadlines.

Stages of the Acceleration Process

• Letter of invite from the Deputy Principal – Teaching & Learning to those students who meet the desired criteria of 5A’s (5 x 80%) (one of which has to be English) (75% for Enhanced / CLIL students)
• Completion of Application Form
• Completion of VCE Ready Test
• Invitation for a brief interview by the relevant Head of Learning
• Students and parents informed of the outcome by Deputy Principal – Teaching & Learning.

Students have been informed of this process at the beginning of the year. Details are also available on the website and Course Guide.
