The subject selection process continues in preparation for the creation of a 2023 timetable. Heads of Learning and Subject Selection Coordinator, Mr Soon, will contact any student who may have missed out on a subject choice due to timetable constraints and discuss alternative options with them. Students will be notified of their subjects in Term 4, coinciding with the release of the 2023 Booklists.
The accelerated subject application results have been emailed to parents and students. Those who were deferred will have the opportunity to reapply at the end of Semester 2. The same criteria was applied across the cohort unless there were exceptional circumstances. The process therefore remains fair and consistent for all our students. This ensures that students have the opportunity to perform to the best of their ability and have a solid foundation for their final year of study. Deferred application candidates will be contacted at the completion of their exams regarding the status of their application.
Booklists will be available on Siena Central in Term 4 and parents will be notified via email. Secondhand books will be run by the Siena Parents' Association on the College premises. Further details will be communicated at the start of Term 4.
