Subject Selection for Year 11 2018 letter

- 4 -

10. What is a ‘pre-requisite’? A pre-requisite is a school subject that you have to have done to be accepted into a particular tertiary course. This is the same for OP and IB courses.

On Monday 12 June at 6.00 pm in the Senior Learning Centre, there will be a special Year 10 Parents/Student IB Information Evening.

At this IB Information Evening, Mr Stephen Walther will deliver a PowerPoint presentation which will further clarify the IB. Finally, there will be a brief forum where a panel of past IB Diploma students will talk about and answer questions on the IB Diploma from the students’ perspective.

Because of this, it is important that both you and your student attend the evening. Students are required to wear school uniform.

This IB Information Evening will be in addition to the formal, compulsory Course Selection Evening for Year 11, 2017 scheduled for Monday 17 July. Please bring your Course Information Book, which will be distributed online later this term, with you to these two evenings.

Mrs Karen Crowley, Dean of Studies, Mr Stephen Walther, IB Coordinator and I are available to see parents and students for individual course counselling.

Please feel free to call the College on 5559 7100 and ask for Mrs Crowley, Mr Walther or myself to arrange a convenient time for appointment.

Alternatively you may email Mrs Crowley at kcrowley@somerset.qld.edu.au , Mr Walther at swalther@somerset.qld.edu.au or myself, mbrohier@somerset.qld.edu.au with requests for interviews.

Yours in sensible career choices,

Dr Michael Brohier Deputy Headmaster
