Year 10 – Subject Selection Evening

Letter from the Director of Curriculum & NESA Accreditation

30 January 2026

Dear Parents/Carers

Year 10 Subject Selection Information Evening

Tuesday 17 February 6.00pm, Montagne Centre

We are writing to you with details of the upcoming information evening on pathways and courses available for the Higher School Certificate program for students beginning the Year 11 Course in 2026. Our Stage 6 Subject Selection evening will take place 17 February from 6:00pm–7:00pm in the Montagne Centre. 

The Information Evening details the NESA requirements for students wishing to obtain a HSC and provides details on the variety of pathways available at the College.  Our aim is that every student will be provided with a challenging and appropriate pathway and range of subjects that places him in the right subject at the right level. Our recent experience of this early and open communication has assisted boys in informing learning goals for the end of Semester One and provided greater motivation for them to develop more mature, comprehensive and targeted approaches to learning and senior study, as well as giving them greater focus to speak with their class teachers and Leaders of Learning. 

Year 10 students will begin the process that will lead to the selection of their Year 11 subjects.  Information on the various pathways to the Higher School Certificate, choice of subjects and the process of selecting subjects will be presented.

The presentation will include information on:

  • Higher School Certificate – Subject Selections 
  • Approach to Subject Selection Process 
  • Pathway Opportunities – School-based apprenticeships and traineeships, TAFE and Vocational Education 
  • 2027 Subject Prerequisites
  • ATAR Explained


Year 10 students will receive a copy of the eligibility criteria for Year 11 subjects.  We ask that you begin a discussion with your son on meeting these prerequisites on his Semester 1 Report in order to choose a preferred pattern of study. 

It is the expectation that all students and their parent(s) attend this meeting on Tuesday 17 February.  The dress for students in the evening is College summer uniform.  

We look forward to seeing you at this important meeting to assist your son in discerning his pattern of study for the Higher School Certificate.

Yours sincerely

Ms Monique Brame
