Some families have asked for clarification on our subject selection process this year in response to subjects not running or clashes on timetables. Our process involves students selecting subjects and the College forming classes according to demand. This can vary substantially from year to year as different year levels can often have a different focus in their studies.
This ensures that the College is able to respond to the changing needs of our population and offer the widest choice of subjects that is possible. If a subject only has a few students and a class cannot be formed we look at other possibilities such as joining classes from other schools or looking at Distance Education options. This may take some time so I thank parents involved this year for their patience. Occasionally students have clashes on their timetables and must choose one subject over another. Due to the skills of Mrs Tania Angove in constructing the timetable there are very few unlucky students who fall into this category.
We are now finalising the last details with students regarding their subject selections for 2010. In the mail out this week families of students in Years 9 to 11 will receive a copy of the subjects chosen for 2010 as well as booklists. All students from Years 9 to 11 have been given the opportunity to examine their subject choices and make changes or fix errors over the last few weeks. There are some students who still need to finalise some issues with their timetable but these should be completed this week.
As we now have a number of subjects that are filled for 2010 if family circumstances change before the start of next year we would appreciate notification, as there are some students who are waiting to enter some subjects. If a student is exiting the College for any reason please contact Mrs Trish Martin, College Registrar at the College to verify that they are leaving as this may open up opportunities for other students.
Thanks to all families for your active participation in the subject counselling process this year. If there are any concerns with subjects for 2010, please email me at the College, jeason@ccb.vic.edu.au
