Years 8 to 11 Subject Selections 2024

I hope all families have had a restful holiday period as we embark on another busy term at St Catherine’s. 

This term all Years 8 to 11 students are required to make subject selections for 2024. Our focus is on making sure every student receives detailed information on all subjects and career pathways as they make their subject selections.  

There is much to consider, so please speak to the relevant staff at School who can assist with any queries, including;  

  • Subject teachers 
  • Heads of Faculty 
  • Ms Freda Armstrong, Director of Middle Years 
  • Mrs Alison Cassidy, Director of Senior Years 
  • Ms Kristy Tine, Careers Practitioner 

These staff members are all excellent resources for discussion on subject selection and career pathways. 

There are also a number of online resources that students and parents can access to assist their understanding and discussions on 2024 subject selections.  

Subject Information pages are available via this LINK 

I encourage parents to begin reading this information and discussing 2024 subject selections with their daughters now. These resources contain information on every subject, VCE pathways, VCE acceleration deadlines, and criteria for entry into certain subjects.  

Recorded Subject Information Presentations are available via this LINK

These recorded presentations are available for all Year levels. In these presentations, parents are encouraged to listen to the subject selection process, noting the deadlines for subject selection, any specific selection criteria for subjects and the online application process. 

Heads of Faculty Presentations

These presentations will take place over the coming weeks with all students hearing from each Head of Faculty regarding the subjects on offer. Students will also be able to ask any questions pertaining to their subject selections.
