YEAR 12 INFORMATION
WACE Examinations for Private Candidates
Any Year 11 or 12 student who is planning to sit a WACE examination this year as a Private Candidate needs to see Mr Frusher so that he can be enrolled with the Curriculum Council. Private Candidates are students who are studying subjects privately outside of Scotch College. This generally refers to students who are studying a second language but may include students studying other subjects that are not offered at Scotch College.

In June 2013, Year 12 students will have the opportunity to have breakfast with Old Scotch Collegians who have studied and/or worked in areas that may be of interest to them in further studies and/or careers.

Registration for either of the final two breakfasts (Physiotherapy/Medicine/Sports Science) and (Law/Journalism) is still available. Please return your form to Mr Frusher.
