DATE: WEDNESDAY 11 JUNE, 2025
TIME: 6:00PM
VENUE: RENNIE LIBRARY
This seminar is an opportunity for parents to not only gain greater clarity around the final steps of the academic journey of Year 12, it is also an opportunity to understand the support provided to our students to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and information to make informed decisions about the future. A key component of Year 12 is to encourage every student to take an active role in considering their future path, to understand the importance of research and to feel confident as they prepare for their new path beyond the School gates. The purpose of this evening is to ensure parents feel informed and confident that their daughters are heading in the right direction.
