Welcome to Year 11, 2018
By the time your children reach Year 11 they are approaching young adulthood and have changing needs. They are ready to take more responsibility for their own learning, to use initiative, to work independently and to begin to visualise their life beyond Cornerstone.
In Year 11 we offer a range of academic opportunities to encourage your child/ren to engage in their learning with a growth mindset while recognising the importance of quality relationships and making responsible evidence-based choices.
