Coeducational Subject Selection
Firstly, I want to thank Mr Harrison, Mr Henriques, Mrs Karp, and all the heads of departments who ran the subject selection fair last night. It is always a great event seeing students engage with teachers on what we love about our subjects.
However, this year also included our incoming Year 11 girls. Prior to the fair commencing, most of our Year 10 mentor groups got to meet the girls joining their houses. While there were some absent due to studying outside of Sydney currently, it was a fantastic opportunity for the Year 10s to spend time together before grilling all the teachers on subject choices.
The breadth of Cranbrook is on display at Subject Selection, across the IB and HSC, and all facilities. We also had two teachers – Ms Cooper and Ms Slender – spruiking for two new subjects, Community and Family Studies and Dance, which had great interest from incoming as well as some current Cranbrookians. I had a great chat with Mr Lilley about the interest some of the girls had for Engineering, as well as the accelerated Maths group of girls that have, I hope happily, received access to Mr Sadler’s class OneNote so they can start doing their homework early!
For our current students it was a great opportunity to show off what they love about their Houses, their Mentor groups, and even the day to day of how they use their school diary, what a school day looks like, and how they get to school each day. Straight from the horse’s mouth is often the best way!
Thank you to all the Heads of Houses and mentors involved, we look forward to hosting our incoming students more often until it just becomes daily life at Cranbrook.
