S3 Choice of Course 2013
Third Year Course choices
This is now the time of year when Third Year pupils make their choices for Fourth Year. The process began in December 2012 when we asked Third Year pupils to give us an indication of the Choices they were likely to make. This enabled us to look at class demand and the staff we have available to teach Fourth Year courses. From that time we have been working with your son / daughter to help them to make informed choices for their Fourth Year.
To assist them they have had input from their class teachers on the courses on offer next year. House Heads are supporting your son / daughter in the decision making process.
The following timeline completes the picture of the process and deadlines for completion of Choices:
11 Dec 2012 S3 Trial Choices
14 Jan 2013 S3 Parent information evening
28 Jan 2013 Guidance lessons on choice and career paths
