Subject Selection Fair
Thank you to all who attended either the Year 8 into 9 or Year 10 into 11 subject selection fair held on Wednesday evening in the Vicars Centenary Hall. It was a wonderful opportunity for students and families to engage with staff and older students regarding possible study options for next year and beyond. In particular it was an opportunity for us to meet with new students who will be joining us in 2026, especially our first cohort of female students. They were treated to a tour of their Houses along with an opportunity to meet their future mentees before descending into the VCH to talk all things IBDP and HSC.
Year 8 and 10 students will receive a link from EDVAL by the end of the week in which they can enter their subject choices for 2026. A reminder that we need these choices by the end of term.
Academic Reports
As with Term 1 there will be a temporary alteration to the way that parents receive their reports at the end of this semester. Due to some technical issues at the end of last year, we have taken the decision to print all reports and distribute them directly to the students. This will happen by the end of term. Year 7 -12 will be receiving their reports this term via their mentors during House periods. The table below outlines the reporting types for Term 2.
| Year group | Report type | contains |
| 7-10 | Full Report | achievement levels, grades, attitude & effort, pastoral comment |
| 11 IBDP | Full Report | achievement levels, grades, attitude & effort, teacher comment, pastoral comment. |
| 11 HSC | Progress Report | ranks, attitude & effort |
| 12 HSC | Progress Report | ranks, attitude & effort |
| 12 IBDP | Progress Report | grades, acheivement, attitude & effort |
A reminder that the more specific feedback on student work within subject areas can be accessed via your child’s CANVAS courses. Below is an excerpt of information sent previously by Ms Schmidtke our Director of Digital Learning and Research
