YEAR 10 SUBJECT SELECTION PROCESS

This process begins for Year 10 students and families in Term 2 of Year 10. The Deputy of Teaching and Learning and Head of Careers and VET both provide further information on the pathways available at Seton Catholic College at a parent information evening. Both parents and students are strongly encouraged to attend this evening as it covers, in detail, the important aspects students and parents should know.

The overall process is outlined below:

Information Evening

Conversation at home Faculty recommendations

Individual counselling and course selection

Reflection and planning via College website and beyond

Timetable created

Semester Two follow up and review

Selection changes if required

Following the initial evening in Term 2 a follow-up evening is held in Term 3 This evening is primarily for students and families to visit learning area tables and discuss possible Upper School choices

Each student is then invited to an individual counselling session to choose courses/pathways for Year 11 At these sessions further questions are answered and more information is provided on possible pathways Students can then have a follow-up meeting with their course counsellor or the Head of Careers and VET

Student, parent and teacher feedback indicates that our process is comprehensive and easy to understand, with multiple opportunities for parents and students to ask questions so they have all the information required to support their choices
