In the ACT, high school finishes at year 10 and year 11 and 12 is undertaken at college.
This evening, we went to one of the 2 colleges we are zoned for to check it out so we can help Declan make an informed decision about where to go for school next year.
The evening was due to start at 6pm however when we arrived at about 10 to 6 there were already so many people there that the talk by the principal was closed and we were directed to attend the 7.15pm talk!
There were a lot of stairs and a lot of people and as I am still not very steady on my feet (got jostled by 2 teachers on the stairs and thought I was a goner!) Sean and the kids explored and were fairly impressed with the facilities.
At the end of the night, I had the opportunity to talk to the principal though and found out that one of the strands of study that I had discussed with Declan is no longer offered at the school due to lack of staff to teach it. On the up side though, Declan is now less sure about his chosen strand of study and it is not so important that that option is not available!
Oh well, I guess we will go check out the other option next week to help with the decision....Ugh!! SOO confusing!
