Subject Selection Resources for Year 10 Students

Thank you to all families who were able to attend our 2026 Senior School Subject & Tertiary Expo, which was held last Tuesday 24 June. Kolbe's senior school subjects and pathway options were on display, with learning leaders on hand to give advice and answer questions.We were also fortunate to have representatives from many Universities and TAFEs, plus the Defence Force for first hand information. A very successful evening to all involved.

There were a number of resources available on the night, if your child missed out, please encourage them to pop past the Careers Office to collect. These resources will help with their upcoming subject selections - interviews take place on Thursday 24 July - Ms Rossitto will be sending more information out on how to book.
