25 July 2023: Year 9 & 10 Electives Information Evening
July 19, 2023Dear parents and carers of Year 8 and 9 students
I am writing to invite you to our Year 9 and 10 Electives Information Evening on 25 July from 5.30–6.30pm.
As you know all students are required to study a suite of core Australian Curriculum subjects in our junior school. In Years 9 and 10, in addition to their core subjects, they have the opportunity to pursue their interests in a number of elective disciplines. St Francis Xavier has a proud history of offering a range of elective choices but I am very keen to expand the number and variety of elective options available to our students in Years 9 and 10. This has been met with great excitement by my teaching staff who have been working on the introduction of an exciting suite of elective courses in addition to those we currently offer and we look forward to sharing these with you.
Our Year 9 and 10 Electives information Evening on 25 July 2023 is a new Initiative at the College and an opportunity to provide you with an introduction to and explanation of our elective courses, how these are selected by students next term in preparation for Years 9 and 10, and for you to ask questions about junior studies and our elective options. We want our students to have agency over their learning and to be as informed and supported as much as possible to ensure that they have every success in their studies in Years 9 and 10.
I look forward to seeing you at our Electives Information Evening. Please don’t hesitate to contact Ms Leilah Ayton Year 8 Coordinator at leilah.ayton@sfx.act.edu.au or Mr Luke Potter Year 9 Coordinator at luke.potter@sfx.act.edu.au if we can assist you or if you have any questions about the event.
Yours sincerely
Sandra Darley
College Principal
