Dear Parents and Carers,
In 2021 we have developed an innovative program for Year 10 students. It is essential that students attend all school days as attendance is mandatory as outlined in the school attendance policy by Department of Education. https://education.nsw.gov.au/policy-library/policies/school-attendance-policy.
The last day of the school year for Year 10 is Thursday 16th December 2021.
This program is focused on the development of skills that are essential for senior learning. The students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs being offered by a range of experts. Each session is designed to provide fundamental learning skills to help students as they progress into Year 11 and 12.
Some sessions that will be offered in Week 10 have limited numbers so we encourage students to sign up quickly. Along with these expert sessions we will also be covering many mandatory aspects required by NESA. It is essential that students have completed all of these required sessions to ensure successful enrolment into Year 11 in 2022.
Students can sign up for the following sessions outside the Teaching and Learning Office:
· Apprenticeship Preparation Session
· Tax File and Unique Student Identity Number Application
· Design Thinking
Students will also attend sessions to obtain their NESA student numbers and enroll in the My Futures Workforce.
In Week 10 students will attend presentation assemblies where academic and sporting awards will be distributed.
Master Classes
During Week 9 students will be provided with a wonderful opportunity to attend a ‘Master Class’ with their teachers for 2022 senior classes. These ‘Master Classes’ will provide a unique chance for students to gain an understanding about the expectations and course structure of each subject. They will also learn the fundamental skills that will be required for the course and be provided with information that will allow them to begin their preparation and organisation for the 2022 academic year.
In the Master Classes students will have the opportunity to ask questions about the course, gain additional information about the content and familiarise themselves with their peers and learning space. This will also be a valued opportunity for students to enquire about books, homework and preparation material to be gathered over the holidays.
