A program to accelerate and support the transition to Senior Secondary education.

Monday 7 December and Tuesday 8 December
optional course changes and an optional Musical workshop on Wednesday 9 December

Start and finish – Students should arrive on campus by 8.45am and will finish each day at 2.00pm.

Courses and course changes – Students will receive their individual course timetable on the first day of Head Start. Changes can be made at the end of Head Start after the student has tried their selected courses.

What to bring

  • Writing materials - an exercise book or notepad and a pen.

  • Food and drink for lunch and recess. The Canteen will be open during Head Start and there will be a complimentary BBQ lunch Wednesday.

  • Any medications needed for the day.

  • It is not essential for students to bring a device to Head Start; however, if they choose to do so it is important that they follow the GYC Bring Your Own Device Policy and ICT Usage policies.

What to wear – Uniform is not required for Head Start. Students should wear neat, casual clothes. If they have chosen a sports course, it is a good idea to wear something they can be active in as well as sport shoes.

Mobile phones – Use of mobile phones is not permitted during classes at Guilford Young College. Students may use them during break times.

Absences – Parents are requested to contact the College in the case of student absence before 9.00am each day. Parents will be contacted if their child is absent without notification.

More information will be released via our Back to School webpage as it becomes available.
