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 a
t kcrowley@somerset.qld.edu.au ,Mr Walther at
