Please continue to refer to the College Calendar for the most current information.
The Careers & Pathways Hub is a digital space where students and families can discover the latest information on work experience, university and VET options, post-school transitions, and the partnerships that power them.
This page is updated frequently as new opportunities and updates arise, so be sure to check back often!
This space is designed to keep families informed and supported throughout the senior years at Nazareth. Here you’ll find up-to-date information relevant to Year 10, 11 and 12 – updated as needed and referenced in our newsletter, calendar, and other key platforms.
Please check back regularly, as content may change throughout the year.
Dear Students
I hope that each and every one of you had a great break and are excited to return to school for the second half of the year.
Firstly, I thank the many students who regularly uphold the College’s expectations, and with the start of a new Semester a good opportunity to outline a few reminders.
Work Completion and Application
There will be an opportunity for you to reflect on your Semester 1 application and results during MG in the early part of this term. This will give you the chance to review goals and refine strategies used during the first half of the year. Given that Monday marks the start of a new semester, you have the opportunity to start fresh and or continue the momentum from your success in the first semester.
Every student is capable of improvement, and it is super important that you seek feedback. For some, this might be about your overall approach to your studies. For others, it could be about strategies to support your learning in class. Remember, communication is key with your teachers – They’re here to support you.
Uniform
Uniform is an easy choice that is dictated by your timetable. Unfortunately, we still have a large number of students who do not comply with college expectations around uniform.
Piercings
The requirements concerning earrings are clear – two small plain earrings, e.g. stud or sleeper per ear worn in the lower lobe. No visible piercings (other than ear lobes) are permitted, e.g. no piercings of the nose, tongue, eyebrows etc.
Hair
Please know that nothing has changed regarding our expectations around grooming.
Hair must be tied back away from the face and tied up if longer than shoulder length. Regarding facial hair, all students must be clean shaven at all times. Failure to adhere to this, will result in you being asked to rectify this by shaving at Student Services.
Punctuality
As you are aware, the term Punctuality indicates being on time and is a characteristic and reflection of you as an individual. I’m sure many of you who hold part-time jobs are not late for your working shifts and this is the expectation at Nazareth that your prepared and on time for your lessons, these are non-negotiable. I think we are mature enough to understand that for some students, this aspect requires significant improvement.
Manners and respect
Cannot stress enough the significance of students addressing teachers appropriately when they you are in conversation with their teachers. Added to this is at all times students follow instructions this is non-negotiable and finally ensure you are well mannered, a ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ do go a long way. If you have any issues with this expectation, I’m more than happy to have a conversation with you.
Personal Responsibility
We value the unique contributions of each young person here at Nazareth and that is why each of you has such a role to play when representing the College with pride and respect in our local community. Remember that you represent the College as you arrive and depart the College in private cars, on nearby roads, on public transport or at our local shops whenever you are in uniform. Please continue to respect your peers by ensuring that you are doing all of the things that we would expect of a Nazareth graduate.
Enjoy the start of Semester 2, and remember our College Theme for 2027 ‘Be the Change for a Better World’.
I look forward to seeing you all next week, as we start Semester 2.
Thanks
Mr Taylor
Head of Student Wellbeing

Term 3, Week 4 | Wednesday, 12 August 2026
ECC-12
Term 3, Week 6, Friday 28 August
Our subject selection process is designed to help students reflect on their interests, explore future pathways, and make informed choices through guided curriculum discussions. This journey began last term with our Subject Selection and Pathways Day, along with the Careers Expo, and will continue over the coming weeks through various supports and activities.
During Mentor Group sessions, students will explore pathway options and have opportunities to speak with their teachers and Learning Area Leaders about subject choices. For those considering Tertiary Studies, we would also encourage them to attend University Open Days, many of which will begin over the coming weeks – these are valuable opportunities to explore potential areas of interest. Please refer to individual university websites for further details.
Future Pathways Guide Book
To support your family in this process, we’ve created a Future Pathways Guide Book, available online. This guide includes everything you need to know about subject selection, timelines, and the SACE structure.
We also encourage you to watch this Video Presentation which provides a helpful overview of the SACE, Nazareth subject offerings, VET pathways, ATARs and how students can personalise their senior learning journey.
Subject Selection Q&A Session – Optional
We invite Year 10 & 11 parents/caregivers to attend an optional online Q&A session via Microsoft Teams, designed to support you and your young person in navigating subject selection, SACE, VET, and future pathways.
This session complements the information in the video and is not intended to introduce new content. We strongly recommend all families – especially those of Year 10 students new to SACE – to watch this Video Presentation ahead of time.
Optional online Q&A session via Microsoft Teams will be held on Monday, 17 August at 5:30pm.

Kidman Park Campus – Parking
Students who have been approved to park on site will be required to clearly display their parking disc while their vehicle is parked at school. The parking disc will serve as confirmation that the student has submitted the required driver’s forms and have agreed upon term/conditions set by the College. Please know that these will be distributed to students during Wk. 9 and 10.
This adjustment will assist staff in efficiently identifying authorised student vehicles and ensure that all student drivers have completed the necessary documentation to allow us to keep all student drivers safe on our campus.
We are so fortunate to be able to provide parking options for our Senior students, so once again, thank you to the many students who ensure they are fulfilling their responsibilities.

The information below is important standing information for our senior students and families. This information will remain available on this page throughout the year and is essential in supporting a smooth and successful experience in the senior years. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the details provided here.
Year 12 students requesting to drive and/or carry passengers to and from Nazareth must complete the Student Driver Application Form online.
We ask that students and parents/caregivers complete this form together. Once submitted, parents/caregivers will receive an email with a copy of this completed form for approval.
Permission to drive and carry other passengers is only for the journey to and from school. Students are not permitted to drive, either themselves or other students, to school-related activities during the day that are not held on one of our campuses.
Any student driving another student to and from school or between campuses must have the written permission to do so from the parents of that student. The Passenger Permission and Indemnity Form can also be found online.
It is compulsory that the student’s driver’s licence, along with the necessary approval to drive and or carry passengers, is received by a Year Level Coordinator before approval to drive to and from school or between campuses is granted.
If you require help or more information, please email [email protected]
Please ensure you are familiar with the Personal Presentation and Uniform Requirements, including hair, jewellery and personal presentation expectations. PE Uniform can be worn to and from school only on days when students have PE/Dance on their timetable.
For details on College hours, supervision, absences, breaks, ID cards, lockers, lost property, electronic devices and more, please visit the Administrative Procedures section of the Family Information Hub.
Kidman Park Campus
The Kidman Park Campus is open for students from 8am – 5pm, with supervision / formal duty of care commencing at 8:25am and ceasing at 3:45pm unless students are in passive academic support in the Hub or at a cocurricular training/activity. Please note the Campus will close to students at 4pm on Fridays.
Drop off and pick
Please be reminded that drop off and pick up at the front of Kidman Park are not permitted to maintain the safety of all students. We have a number of students enter the building via the carpark, so we kindly request that parents and caregivers utilise the designated drive-through driveway ensuring a safe environment for everyone.
St Gabriel Centre
The St Gabriel Centre Campus is open for students from 8:20am – 4pm, with supervision / formal duty of care commencing at 8:40am and ceasing at 3:45pm.
The office closes at 4pm Monday – Friday. Please see below the phone number for the St Gabriel Centre for families wishing to make contact regarding their Year 10 student.
Flex time is offered to Year 12 students and occurs both off-site and on-site with supervision. Flex time will be reflected at either the beginning or the end of the day.
Timetabled flex allows for ongoing flexibility for student incursions, excursions, tests, individual study, and minimises the disruption to other subjects. If students are required for a particular subject incursion/excursion or event, they will be notified at least two weeks in advance and will be required to be in attendance onsite.
A Consent2Go permission provided to families must be completed by a Parent/Caregiver for students to be offsite for timetabled flex. Students will not be able to be offsite for flex until this has been completed.
Please refer to this letter regarding Flex – C2G Permissions Letter to Families – Year 12 Flex Letter
If you require help or more information, please email [email protected]
Throughout the year, all Year 12 students have been reminded that they are the role models of the College; therefore, their conduct should be of an exemplary standard throughout this celebratory period. This extends to the wearing of the College Uniform and the Personal Presentation Policy.
Students must wear the summer school uniform when attending the Year 12 Farewell Liturgy & Awards Assembly, Graduation Mass, and Stage 2 Examinations. Students who choose not to comply may be excluded from participating in these events.
If students are involved in behaviour which is considered inappropriate, serious consequences will follow. At all times, it is imperative that discretion, safety and good judgment are used throughout celebrations. We appeal to parents and students to work cooperatively with teachers to meet the expectations.
As you approach the end of your studies, we encourage all Year 12 students to register for our Nazareth Graduates Database. By sharing your contact details, you’ll stay connected with news, upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, employment pathways, and other updates from time to time.
When registering, please use a personal email address (e.g. Gmail, Outlook) rather than your Nazareth email, as your school account will be deactivated after graduation.
