Class Placement 2021

Newcastle High School has approximately 1,243 students in Years 7-12 anticipated to be enrolled in 2021, with 75 students in our Support Unit and 136 students at the Cooks Hill Campus.  Full details of the curriculum and structure of high school learning can be found at our Website.

On the Parkway Avenue site, our classes in Year 7-10 are a combination of both streamed academically selected groups of students and mixed ability classes; composed using a variety of data sources including external assessments, internal academic performance measures, attendance, social and behavioural information.  These classes have been developed by the Deputy Principals, Head Teachers and Year Advisors, as well as with transition information for Year 7.  Year 11-12 classes are formed based on student subject selections for senior courses and the numbers of students versus the ratio of trained staff we have in these areas.  At the Cooks Hill Campus site, students in Years 9-12 are grouped into Advisories, for the Big Picture Australia model of curriculum delivery, with more information found on our Cooks Hill Website.  Any questions regarding class structures and placement for 2021 should be directed to your relevant Deputy Principal:

·  Years 7 and 11 – Shannon Sager

·  Years 8 and 10 – Joel Anderson

·  Years 9 and 12 – Rachel McNeilly

·  Cooks Hill Campus – Quinn Robertson
