YEAR 11 (YEAR 12 2023) SUBJECT SELECTION
Year 11 students who are considering making changes to their Year 12 2023 program might find it useful to revisit their Morrisby Profile which they can access via the Morrisby website - https://app.morrisby.com/login
Students who can no longer access Morrisby can use the ‘forgotten login’ tab OR, if this fails, contact me via email for a login code. It is possible for students who feel their interests have changed over the last 12 months to retake the Interests Questionnaire which may lead to shifts in suggested professions or studies.
Students considering dropping subjects in Year 12 might also like to double-check prerequisites by using the VTAC 2024 Prerequisites Guide

OPEN DAYS
Students in Years 10 and 11 may like to consider attending an Open Day to gain an insight into the options and layout of a university or TAFE campus. An experience at an Open Day can bring future goals and ambitions to life as well as provide them with an opportunity to speak with current students and academics about study areas or professional industries they may be considering in the future.
Students in Year 12 are encouraged to attend Open Days at various institutions to help them clarify their options as well as possible pathways whilst comparing the course structures, opportunities and facilities available to them.
Open Day dates have been emailed to all Year 10, 11 and 12 students and parents/guardians are invited to access this information from the OLMC Careers website. Students are encouraged to register their attendance for Open Days to get information about specific events, information sessions, tours etc. which align with the courses and study areas they are considering.
