Starting that Conversation

Workshop presented by Tommy Herschell and Find Your Feet

This 2 hour workshop cracks the whip on where we as men, are at when it comes to telling our story. It musters our ability to tell our mates how it really is, and sends us home with a new take on what it means to “start that conversation”.

The workshop follows on from Tom’s amazing work here at PBC with our Growing Good Men and is open to guys young and old from 13 years and upward. Fathers, sons, grandfathers, uncles, coaches or any interested males are welcome.

To RSVP email your details (names of all coming/contact number/email address) to events@pbc-shs.eq.edu.au. Please put Fellas Workshop in the subject of the email.

COVID-19 restrictions are in place for this event, therefore:

• Please RSVP by email by Wednesday 12 August to events@pbc-shs.eq.edu.au.

Year 11 2021 - Senior Schooling Information Evening

Year 10 students have now reached the point in their Senior Schooling where we are asking them to plan their pathway, including subjects, for Year 11 and 12. All Year 10 students will be required to develop a Student Education and Training Plan (SET Plan).

To help in making the best possible choices we invite you and your child to participate in an information evening for all Year 10 students and families. The aim of the evening will be for you to receive essential information on Senior Pathways as well as have the opportunity to tour our faculties and speak to subject teachers about the subjects on offer. In addition, a variety of representatives including Griffith University, Southern Cross University, Gold Coast TAFE, Gold Coast Trades College and Prestige Training Services will be available to answer any questions you have regarding a wide range of certificates and courses on offer.

When: Tuesday 11 August

Format: Presentation in the Hall followed by a Subject Fair in the Library Precinct

RSVP: It is essential that RSVP's be emailed to events@pbc-shs.eq.edu.au so that we can ensure compliance with Covid-19 restrictions. We must limit the number attending so we ask that only one parent from each family attend with their student. Please RSVP to events@pbc-shs.eq.edu.au by Friday 7 August stating SETPlan Info Session in the Subject, include the names of all attending and a contact number.

Year 11 2021 - SET Plan Interviews

Following on from the above information session each student is required to complete and sign a Student Education Training Plan (SETP). Students should bring a draft copy of their pre-populated SETPlan Form to the interview. This is verified through an interview process, where students and parents meet with an assigned member of the Senior School team for a one-on-one consultation about the student’s subject selections and pathway.

When: Tuesday 18 and Wednesday 19 August 2020

Format: 15min interview, to be scheduled between 2:00-6:30pm

Where: Various rooms at PBC
