Curriculum Update

Chat GPT Consent Forms (Years 9 - 12)

Since the commencement of Term 1, St George’s staff members have had access to Chat GPT, thereby familiarising themselves with this technology, its benefits, and potential drawbacks. Recently, Chat GPT has modified the user age requirement, now only permitting individuals aged 13 or older with parental approval to utilise this new resource.

Given these changes and further developments, St George’s has decided to incorporate an introduction to Chat GPT in the curriculum, to help students adapt to the future’s evolving technological demands.

Students will be taught how to employ Chat GPT in a safe, responsible, ethical, and effective manner for educational purposes, under the guidance and assistance of the teaching staff. We kindly request parents of students in Years 9 - 12 to fill out this form and send it to aiconsent@stgeorges.wa.edu.au as soon as possible.

Year 11-12 ATAR Examinations

We extend our warmest appreciation to all Year 11 and Year 12 ATAR students for their dedication, empathy, and mutual support during the ATAR examinations in the past two weeks. We were delighted to see the students’ calm demeanour during the exams and their diligent preparation, making full use of the Laurence Library. They seemed to enjoy managing their examinations at 10 William Street where they could calm their nerves and write their papers uninterrupted. I would like to thank Mrs Sharan Tagore for all of her work managing the exam venue and tutors to ensure a smooth experience for all students.

Based on these exam results, we will calculate predicted ATARs and share them with students and families via SEQTA in the Week 9 of this term.

Year 11-12 APEx World of Work Week

Our APEx students had a wonderful few days at the World of Work Week. During this week, students attended several seminars and engaged in mock job interviews, receiving valuable feedback for their post-school success.

Year 10 Examinations and Year 11 2024 Subject Selection Update

Our Year 10 exams for English, Mathematics, Humanities and Science will take place from Tuesday June 13 to Friday June 16 at CQU (10 William Street Perth WA - Level 5). Students need only to be present for their scheduled exam times and are free to study from home or at the Perth Library or the Laurence Library during other times. These exams will inform the prerequisite forms for the Year 11 2024 Subject Selection. These forms will be distributed to students and families at the end of this term and are to be returned by the second week of Term 3. To assist in making these critical choices, we will host a Year 10 Parent Information Evening in the first week of Term 3 to discuss subject selection further. Further information will be shared with Year 10 families as we edge closer to examinations.
