Year 9 and 10 students and parents are required to attend one of the three Subject Selection information sessions and the VCE Expo. Current Year 11 and 12 students are encouraged to attend from 3.30pm to 4.30pm when they will have access to Parade College VCE and VET staff as well as to representatives from a range of tertiary institutions.
Representatives from the following institutions and organisations will be present to answer any questions regarding future pathways, as well as requirements to gain entry to their courses.
Further information regarding subject selection can be found on the College’s Subject Selection Website (https://www.parade.vic.edu.au/subject-selection) or by contacting Mr James Fogarty, Dean of Learning (Year 10 to 12), Ms Tegan Hopkins, Dean of VCE VM, or Ms Nadia Bonvicino, Dean of Learning (Year 7 to 9).
In Term 3, Years 7 and 8 students and their families select their elective subject choices for 2026. Changes to core subjects do not form part of subject selection and if your child is currently involved in a specialised program such as Intervention English or Maths, Altior or Manchester City, then they will continue with this in 2026, subject to normal review.
Students will be guided through this process during two Tutor Workshops/Assemblies on 1 and 8 August. During these workshops, students will be shown information on the College’s Subject Selection Website and will have an opportunity to discuss their potential elective choices with their Tutor Teacher. Further information has been emailed to families and included on the College’s Subject Selection Website (https://www.parade.vic.edu.au/subject-selection) or by contacting Ms Nadia Bonvicino, Dean of Learning (Year 7-9).
