Year 11 2023

The subject information night was a huge success, and I extend a thank you to the parents who attended and the teachers who created fabulous displays to inform students about their subject. Year 10’s will be selecting their preferences during careers classes; however, there must be conversations at home regarding their choices. The new QCE system requires much thought when changing subjects during Year 11, so there should be a high degree of thought put into a student’s senior schooling plan. The PowerPoint presentation from the subject selection evening is available on the school website.

Years 9 and 10 2023

The Curriculum Handbook for Year 9 and Year 10, 2023 will be distributed this week and will outline all the relevant information regarding Assumption College’s suite of subjects for next year.

Years 8 and 9 students will have a presentation at school regarding the Elective subjects available for them to study in 2023 and how to make their preferences using the web program. In addition, Year 9 students have been working hard in Careers class to start thinking about their future pathways. Students will then make their selections at school and print a form to be signed by parents. The school will then create a 2023 timetable based on the student selections and this will dictate what is offered next year. Once the timetable has been established, students may need to reselect due to restrictions on class sizes and staff availability.

External Examination Preparation Program

A letter has been distributed to all Year 12 students regarding the Diocesan External Examination Preparation Program (EEPP).

Students are welcome to attend any session that they believe will provide value to them. Just be aware that the sessions are intensive; students will work individually and cooperatively with others, and they will be expected to engage with exam-style questions. They will work hard.

There will be a small charge to help offset the costs of the program. This is based on a sliding scale. If your young person attends one session the charge will be $50, if they attend four, $120.

Students will be expected to source their own accommodation in Toowoomba while undertaking the program. The subjects offered are English, Modern History, Legal Studies, Study of Religion, General Maths, Maths Methods, Specialist Maths, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.

Please refer to the letter regarding how to register. If you have any issues or concerns please contact the College.
