Term Two Success!

I’d like to congratulate all of our students in years 10-12 for a successful Semester of learning here at Carmel.  From academic success to activating Pathways, our Consistent Commitment to Learning has ensured the success of all of our Senior Students at Carmel.

Year 10 Subject Expo and SET Planning

It’s been wonderful to talk with parents and students of Year 10 to discuss their Senior Schooling pathways for 2026 and beyond. Thank you to all of our dedicated parents for ensuring their learners best success by engaging with our SET Planning process. Our pathways team here at Carmel has had an overwhelming interest in all things SET-Planning and in response, Mrs Tamara Thomas and I will be running a Q&A session alongside our scheduled Term 3 Parent Teacher Conferences on the first Tuesday of Term 3. We will be available during the evening to answer any final questions you may have around subject choices, pathway options and what to expect during your scheduled SET Plan conversations on Tuesday 22 July.

WHEN:    Tuesday 15 July

WHERE:  Spero04 (Classroom opposite the Civitas canteen area)

TIME:      Drop in anytime between 3.30pm and 5.30pm

ONLINE: If you can’t make the Student-Parent-Teacher Conferences feel free to connect with us on Teams for an online session from 5.30pm – 6.00pm (a link will be emailed to all parents).

 The SET Plan

As a parent or carer, there are many ways you can join this conversation so that come SET Planning time, you and your learner are well equipped to navigate these important decisions and discussions. 

1. Discuss the upcoming semester one report to determine strengths of your learner.
2. Engage with our pathways hub to access up to date information, calendar items and short activities that will assist your learner in deciding their path forward. https://carmelcollegepathways.com/
3. Visit QTAC to learn when specific institutions are hosting their University Open days.
4. Engage in conversation with your learner to determine their strengths, passions and skills and encourage them to discover what career and pathway options might allow them to thrive with these things in mind. QUT and UQ have great supporting resources to assist you in having these conversations.

Term Three – Senior Academic Mentoring

A reminder that Term 3 will provide opportunities for our Year 12s to meet with their PC teachers for a second round of academic mentoring that will capture IA2s and 3s. Our Pathways Team will also be working with our Year 12s to discuss next steps post schooling and ensure that students have all of the tools to equip them for success beyond Carmel.

This will also see the first round of academic mentoring for our Year 11 students who will be reflecting with PC teachers on their Unit 1 results and steps to keep the momentum going. Year 11s have been incredibly reflective, and I’ve seen a number of subject changes come through that will support continued Year 11 success on their Senior Pathways. Well done, Year 11!
