Timetable
Notes For Students
If you do not receive your first choice of subjects it will be for one of the
following reasons:
| |
1.
|
You did not meet the prerequisites –
all students were informed that the final internal exams would form the basis
for meeting subject prerequisites. Heads of Faculty have checked the students
enrolling in their faculty and adjusted students appropriately. |
| |
2.
|
Students wishing to repeat a subject may not gain entry
due to the number of “first time” eligible students. First
time students have priority over repeating students. This particularly affects
subjects like Information Technology, Carpentry, Outdoor Education and Photography. |
| |
3.
|
Your subject choice does not fit the timetable.
Not all combinations of subjects are possible. Where this happens then your reserve
subjects are used. |
| |
4.
|
You did not complete the form correctly. Some
students failed to list reserve subjects, listed a core subject in the option
choice or otherwise incorrectly filled out the form. The timetablers have chosen
a course for you based upon their knowledge of you, your academic record and your
subject choice in previous years. |
| |
5.
|
Late return of Course Enrolment Form. Obviously
some subjects have limited places and fill up very quickly. |
Change of Course
 If,
now that you have received your exam results, you believe that you meet the prerequisites
needed to study a subject at a higher level then you need to make an appointment
with the appropriate Head of Faculty. Please make this appointment for before
school, interval, lunch or after school – NOT during class time. If the
Hof agrees with you then they will give you written permission to change subject.
Take this to Mrs Rattenbury in the Academic Student Centre. She will change your
course providing class numbers allow the change. This will only happen for the
first 2 weeks of Term 1.
If you would like to change your course for another reason
then you will need to see the Director of Curriculum. You can do this during the
registration days. Please bring with you:
| |
• |
A very good reason for the change (being given a reserve subject
is not a good reason.) |
| |
• |
Your choice of subjects. |
Changing subjects at this late stage is difficult. If you have any general concerns
about your course please discuss these with your Dean.
