MONARTO SAFARI PARK
On Tuesday 23rd July we will be taking Stage 1 students on an excursion to Monarto Safari Park. The excursion is designed as a way to introduce new students to the existing Stage 1 cohort, as well as to celebrate the end of Semester 1 and the beginning of Semester 2.
UNIVERSITY & CAREER PATHWAYS EXPO
We will be holding an expo on site in Week 2 for all students. It will be held in the Student Common Room on the 30th and 31st of July between 10am -12pm. This year we have invited ADFA (Defence Forces), SAPOL (Police), AIE (Gaming), MEGT (VET), TAFESA, University of Adelaide, Unis SA, and Flinders University. SATAC will also be doing a presentation at 11:00am on Wednesday 31st July in Room 3. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gather information about different university courses or future career choices. They will have time to speak to key university representatives of South Australia and other key providers.
ACTIVATING IDENTITIES & FUTURES
The Research Project is being replaced by the SACE Board in 2025 with Activating Identities and Futures (AIF). Muirden Senior College is continuing to participate in the pilot program in Semester 2 2024. Although AIF is a Stage 2 subject, Stage 1 students have been enrolled in an AIF class as this will give them more options for Stage 2 subject choices next year, as well as teach them how to research, analyse, use and cite sources, all necessary requirements for Stage 2.
SEMESTER 2 TIMETABLE
All Stage 1 students have been emailed their Semester 2 timetable. There are also timetables available at the Front Office or on our website https://muirden.sa.edu.au/studentstimetable-stage-one/. For more information on subjects please visit https://muirden.sa.edu.au/stage-one-subjects/
STAGE 2 INTERIM REPORTS
Interim Reports will be sent out at the end of Week 5, Friday 23rd August 2024. These reports will indicate if students are on track to receive a passing grade for all subjects. If a student is at risk of not achieving their SACE, I will be requesting an interview with students and their parents/caregivers.
