Year 11 Performance Interviews

Once the current reporting cycle closes and Unit 2 grades are available for review early next term, students whose academic attainment has been below par will be interviewed about options moving forward.

In some cases, this will entail subject changes and course restructures, this will be the last opportunity for students to restructure their course of study. There will be no changes once students have commenced Unit 3. For others, particularly those at risk of not attaining a QCE, there will be some hard conversations as to exactly what they need to do to improve their performance so as to reclaim the opportunity to graduate with a QCE.

Also, unfortunately, it will mean that some students who have not been attending school with the required regularity and/or whose report card shows failing grades coupled with unacceptable effort and behaviour outcomes, will be required to show cause as to why their enrolment should not be cancelled. Transitional opportunities will be offered to any students who find themselves in the situation of having their enrolment cancelled.
