Information about the HSC - Waverley College

Processing of Preliminary Subject Indications
The College reserves the right of placement of students in courses in cases where: -
Demand does not justify the running of a course. In some cases composite classes may be
created.
There is excess demand for a course for which the College has no capacity to provide extra
classes.
The degree of difficulty of the course is deemed beyond the demonstrated ability of the
candidate that is evidenced by Year 10 results.
Consequently all application forms received by the College are considered ‘preliminary indicators’,
until such time as all the information regarding individual students and total course demand is
available.
Having collected all the relevant data, Heads of Department, the Senior Students’ Studies Co-ordinator
and Year Master will review proposed course candidature. In cases where all pre-requisites have been
met and the College can accommodate student demand, enrolment will be confirmed in the course.
However, where some doubts exist, Heads of Department will request interviews with students to
discuss specific needs.
In situations in which students are advised to amend their course combinations interviews with Heads
of Department, the Senior Students’ Studies Co-ordinator and Year Master will be conducted to review
the most appropriate options. These interviews will take place during the time period of late August to
early September.
*Applications to change courses will only be considered
within the parameters established within the timetable
