Years 10 and 11 Curriculum

All Year 10 and 11 students worked well throughout the assessment period in Week 8 and were focused and prepared for their final examinations. The assessment period provided a strong opportunity for Year 10 students to prepare for Senior Assessment processes and for Year 11 students to complete their first Internal Assessment instruments for Unit 3.

Students in Years 10 and 11 are also to be congratulated for their resilient and diligent approach to learning throughout 2020. Significantly, the period of Alternate Educational Provisions due to COVID-19 posed many substantive challenges for students in adapting to an online learning environment at home. However, Senior students rose to the challenge and returned to successfully complete studies across their suite of General, Applied, and Vocational Education and Training subjects throughout the remainder of the year. Congratulations to all students for their determination, creativity, and enthusiasm for learning throughout 2020.

If any student has questions or concerns regarding their 2021 subject selections, they need to contact Mrs Tamara Thomas (Pathways Leader) at the College.

Years 7-10 Semester Two SRS Reporting

You will receive your child’s student report at the end of this term and we wish to draw your attention to important aspects of our assessment and reporting practices that will be reflected in the achievement grades. 

These student reports are ‘snapshots’ of each student’s learning at this time, based on evidence from a range of assessments in Term 3 and Term 4.  The reports are an important element of our reporting and communication practices and rely strongly on dialogue between teachers, students and parents.  If we work closely together, there should be no real surprises in your child’s report. 

Teachers, parents and students all share responsibility for learning. It is, therefore, important that you discuss the report with your child and also plan what learning goals will be set for 2021. We remain hopeful that 2021 will be a year of calm, consistency and uninterrupted schooling for all our students.

The Learning and Teaching Team would like to wish all students and their families a blessed and restful Christmas. We look forward to welcoming all members of the Carmel community to begin the New Year in 2021.

Mr James Taylor
