Recommendation to study Advanced and Extension courses

Students who intend to select English Advanced, Mathematics Advanced or any Extension courses are required to obtain a recommendation from their Year 10 teacher of that subject and the Head Teacher of Mathematics or English. Science teachers will also make a recommendation for some science subjects. 

Forms can be collected from the Head Teacher of the Faculty area.

This requirement is in response to a significant number of students in recent years selecting courses in which it has been difficult for them to achieve success.  The current procedure is designed to guide students towards the most appropriate courses and, therefore, more successful outcomes.

While extenuating circumstances may override these recommendations, parents and students should carefully consider the recommendation of the teacher and Head Teacher. Students who wish to appeal against the recommendation will need to arrange an interview with the Head Teacher of the subject and the Deputy Principal to explain the circumstances of their selection.
