Year 11/12 Subject Changes
By now all Year 11 and 12 students should have settled into the subjects that they are going to continue with for the remainder of the 2019 academic year with the final date for changes being Friday 8 February. This deadline is set so that students will have a realistic chance of catching up and successfully completing the new subject/s they have chosen. Subject changes after this time will only be made under exceptional circumstances in consultation with Mr Frusher and with approval from Mrs Mecham, Assistant Dean Teaching & Learning. These changes will mainly be students who are changing to General courses or Year 12 students who are dropping a subject to pick up a study period. The latter can be done at any time of the year.
