Stage 6 Subject Selections

Weeks 2 and 3 have marked an exciting chapter in the life of San Clemente as we continue to grow and prepare for the future. On Wednesday evening of Week 2, our dedicated teachers presented an overview of the Stage 6 courses available to our very first Year 12 cohort – the Class of 2027.

This special event was a wonderful opportunity for students and their families to witness the passion and expertise of our staff, and to appreciate the thoughtful planning that has gone into shaping our Stage 6 offerings. For some students, the evening confirmed their subject preferences. For others, the wide range of engaging and challenging courses sparked new questions and conversations – a healthy sign of discernment and curiosity.

As students continue to reflect on their choices, we encourage them to consider three key areas: Interest, Challenge, and Realism. These guiding principles will help ensure that their selections align with both their aspirations and abilities.

A reminder that WebChoices will remain open until 11:59pm on Sunday, 18 May. We urge all students to take the time they need, seek guidance where necessary, and make thoughtful, informed decisions.

Stage 5 Semester Examinations

Students in Years 9 and 10 received their Semester One Examination Timetable during Mentor this week.  A copy is shown below.  Examinations have been staggered to minimise the stress with only a few having to complete two examinations in one day. 

Students are reminded to use their time outside of school and the long weekend to revise their notes and complete practice examination questions.  Preparation for the examinations will help to reduce the stress that your child(ren) may experience.  I would also encourage students to ensure they take the time to connect with family and friends, and be active by getting outside and enjoying some exercise.

Parents are reminded, if your child has a planned appointment at the time of an examination, they must complete and submit a Variation Form FIVE school days prior to the examination.  If you child is ill on the day of an assessment task, an assessment variation form is required on return to school.  Students in Year 10 are required to also submit a Doctors Certificate.  Please refer to the Assessment Handbook for more details, available on our school website. 

If you have any concerns regarding the learning of your child, please contact the class teacher or Leader of Learning of a subject.

Warm Regards
