Term 2 continues to provide opportunities for students to find out more about all types of post school options available to them. It is also a time when students should be working hard to meet all assessment deadlines and set some personal goals for themselves around what they want to achieve by the end of the year.

Here are some examples of support we are providing to year 12 students.

Academic Coaching

Senior teachers at the school volunteer to be an Academic Coach for your year 12 student. They meet with them throughout the year to support with time management, subject issues, wellbeing, SACE completion and career advice. This is then noted for other teachers to act upon.

Senior Study Space

Senior students have been provided with a spacious, upgraded study area and common room. Year 11 students are expected to be at school at all times. Year 12 students are granted Home Study if they have study lessons at the beginning or end of the day. Year 12 students can also access other areas in the school to be able to seek support from specialist teachers.

Flinders University Inspire Program

We have had our first visit from Flinders University. They offer a mentor program to any year 12 student who aspires to go to university. They will meet face to face on four occasions during the term as a group. They will also organise mentors, if required, to meet with the students in small like groups or one to one either online or in person. This program does not mean you have to apply for Flinders University, but they will pay the SATAC application fee for any students who nominate for the program.

Adelaide University Visit

Adelaide University will be here to see any year 11 and 12 students on Tuesday 6 June in lesson 6 in the library.

Flinders University Roadshow

Once again Renmark High School has volunteered to host the Flinders University Annual Roadshow on Wednesday 19June. We will be hosting approximately 160 students from all local regional high schools. On the day, students will move through a series of practical activities from a wide variety of faculties. Lecturers from the university will attend on the day. Students can ask questions about courses, have a look at their solar car and will be provided with a free lunch. Further information will be given out in Beyond Tomorrow sessions leading up to the day. Please see the flyer in this week’s newsletter.

I look forward to sharing more senior news and student success stories throughout 2024.
