Month: January 2022

S2-S5 Options Process

At the end of this month our S2-S5 pupils will begin to finalise their options choices for next year. The guidance team have already discussed this process at PSE and each young person will have had the opportunity to explore potential career pathways using the My World of Work website.

 

The timetable for the options process is outlined below:

S3 Options w/b Monday 31 January

S4 Options w/b Monday 7 February

S5 Options w/b Monday 21 February

S2 Options w/b Monday 28 February

 

During these times each pupil will meet with their Guidance Teacher to discuss what they would like to choose to study the following year. The form issued in school will then be signed off by parents / carers at home and returned to school.

 

In order to assist you with this process, please visit the options choice section of our school blog via the Parents Zone tab or from the links below:

Here, you will find information booklets and a digital copy of the options form that will be issued to each young person. If you have any questions please contact your child’s Guidance Teacher.

Senior Phase January Assessments

As you will know, our Senior Phase Assessment Diet is scheduled to start on Monday 17th January. Class teachers have already informed pupils of their exam times and what to expect from each assessment, a copy of the timetable is available on each subject’s Teams page and has been emailed to all S4-6 pupils.

I have attached a PDF of this timetable below for your reference. Please take the time to read over it carefully and take note of the first page which outlines exam etiquette and expectations.

We wish all of our students the best of luck!
