Planning for Year 9
On Wednesday afternoon, Ms Nicolas, together with Teachers and Heads of Departments, talked to Year 8 students about planning for Year 9 and beyond.
Students heard about the proposed structure of curriculum delivery, based on the requirements of the Australian Curriculum and Queensland’s Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework. Staff spoke about possible "Personal Endeavour Courses" and students were asked to indicate their level of interest in each course. From this information, course options for Year 9 will be formulated. This year, students and their families have contributed to the vision and plan for Year 9 and the session on Wednesday was an invaluable opportunity for students to provide feedback which will shape course options for the coming year.
In Term 3, families will be invited to attend a Year 9 Information Night. Students will engage in the process of planning their Year 9 learning journey. We encourage all students and their families to remain up-to-date with communication from the College - via the newsletter and bulletin, SharePoint notices and email - to ensure that opportunities, events and deadlines planned for the rest of the year are not missed.
