At CRC St Albans, EVERYONE has the right to learn and teach and the right to feel respected through a comfortable, safe and inclusive environment.

As such, this term the Year 7s will be running a homeroom challenge that focuses on the school value of Respect. 

We will celebrate acts of:

1. Respect through our uniform
2. Respectful words
3. Respectful actions
4. Respect for property
5. Respect for the school environment

Teachers will award points when they see these acts in the school and the homeroom with the most points wins. The competition will close on Week 8, 4/9 and the winning homeroom will receive a pizza party.

HIGH SCHOOL SUBJECT SELECTION

– TIPS FOR PARENTS

Subject selection is an exciting and stressful time and even students feeling confident about their options or future plans will experience the weight of their decisions. The best thing parents and carers can do to help is to be supportive while their child works through the options to make the best decision for themselves.

Decisions that DON’T bring good results in the long term are:

• Choosing subjects they think will be easy or give them a good ATAR score.
• Selecting subjects they think will look better on their resume.
• Avoiding subjects they love because they think they’re too easy or not linked to a career path that they are aware of.

Instead, focus on strengths and keep options open.

Year 10 students often need guidance and help to stay on track. You will be able to help them by encouraging them to use their strengths and to consider subjects that they enjoy, they’re interested in and that they’re really good at.

Don’t discourage them from studying subjects they’re passionate about, instead, research careers where their skills and qualifications might come into play. Talking openly and honestly with your child will be highly valuable and will help them to feel supported in their decisions.
