What happens at the end of Year 10 if my child isn’t quite meeting requirements?

• If students pass Maths and English at the end of

Semester 1 – they are meeting Year 10 standards.

• If students are unsuccessful in Maths and/or English

in Semester 1– they will be timetabled to Pre-Senior Essential (Maths/English) for Semester 2

• Students will be ineligible to study General

Maths/English (ATAR pathway) in Year 11/12.

• If students are unsuccessful in Pre-Senior

Essential Maths/English in Semester 2 – they will attend Summer School (Week 9 and 10 of Term 4) and re-submit any required tasks to work towards a pass standard.

• If a student is still unsuccessful or refuses to

attend Summer School, a conversation with Mr Barnes (Head of Year) will take place regarding future education options (such as repeating Year 10, or changing schools)
