Year 9 News – 8 August 2024

Year 9 students are currently submitting subject elective choices for 2025.  It was great to see so many families take the opportunity to attend the Subject Information evening last week.  Students have also been having worthwhile conversations with their teachers around pathways and suitable subjects to match individual interests and strengths.

Our visits to the Bendigo Tech School have commenced where students will undertake a focus on wearable technology.  Each Student Advocate group will participate over the next two weeks.
