      SUBJECT SELECTION - YEAR 11 2024

      This is an exciting time for the year 10 students as we move into subject selection for Year 11,  2024. Students will be attending the Wollongong Uni Futures Finder Day next Tuesday 6th June where they can explore options for post school education.

      Students will also begin talks with subject coordinators and begin gathering information on the options for study in 2024. There will be a HSC information evening on Thursday the 15th June, in which all parents and students are invited. This information evening will give students and parents a chance to talk with subject leaders and discuss possible pathways. If parents and students have any questions regarding the subject selection process please contact the school and we will do our best to involve you in this process.

      BUSHCRAFT EXPEDITION - YALWAL / MOUNT BARRON

      Twenty seven year 10 Bushcraft students recently undertook an expedition in Yalwal, climbing the spectacular Mount Barron with remote camping on Yalwal Creek. The trip was very difficult, with a few surprise challenges along the way to overcome as a group. If the outcome can be guaranteed, it isn’t true adventure !! And this was certainly adventure. The group gave it their all and learned a lot of valuable life lessons through the experience of challenge and overcoming difficulty. We are so proud of our year 10’s and their response to the trip. The trip was a tremendous learning experience and filled with lessons that no doubt will be taken forward in future life.
