Term 3 is a very busy term that helps prepare students for transition to college or employment. It is important that students remain focussed right through until the end of the year. This means being on time to school, on time to class and starting each lesson ready and focused for learning. Courses in Year 11 and 12 have prerequisites for entry, so it is important that students make themselves aware of these and continue to work towards or maintain their current level of achievement. Soon students will be provided with transition packs that will contain lots of information about courses and their requirements.

Year 11 and 12 Extension Schools

In 2021, Kings Meadows High School will be broadening our scope to include, CPC20211 - Certificate II in Construction Pathways (with a focus on bricklaying and tiling) as well as Level 2 English, Mathematics, ICT and Agricultural Enterprise (with a focus on viticulture). This may be a possible pathway for some students. More information will be provided in students transition packs.

College Orientation Days

We are approaching a very important time for our Grade 10 students.  We have some events coming up that will have a significant impact on the decision making process for your child regarding the steps they are preparing to take after 2020.

Information in regards to the college orientation days and subject selections were given out on our past My Education Day. Students who were absent must see their class teacher for further information.
