Students will be emailed a unique link during Pastoral Care time which takes them to an online subject selection platform (Web Preferences). 

Students can do their preferences at this time, or choose to do this at home. Students should select electives (including reserves) in order of preference. This is important as subjects are assigned according to this order.  

NOTE: You can only enter your selections twice, so make sure you have a clear plan before you start. 

Friday 19 August – Subject Selection Portal Closes 

Students should print two copies of the online subject selection receipt (one to keep). 

By Monday 22 August – Subject Selection Receipt due to Pastoral Care Group Leader 

Hand in one copy of your Subject Selection Receipt to your PCGL 

• Please sign the receipt yourself. 
• Please have your parent/guardian sign the receipt as well. 

Food as well as hot and cold beverages will be available for purchase on the night from Café 9, which will be operated by students who are being assessed on the evening. 

We look forward to seeing you at the evening on Tuesday 16 August.
