PEAC Administration | Yuluma Primary School | 21 Ambrose Street, Innaloo WA 6018 | 9204 2969 | [email protected] | northmetropeac.wa.edu.au

IntroductionCourse SelectionThe round booklet contains information for Round 3 2019 PEAC courses. It also provides a course calendar and contact details. Details of all courses are found in this booklet and enrolment is made via the Course Preference System on the PEAC website. At least one course preference needs to be entered however it is recommended that students enter four preferences to increase their chance of being placed into a course.

Please do not select courses previously completed at PEAC. Only enter courses you CAN and WILL attend.

There are 5 rounds of courses over the 2 year program and you will have a chance to reapply for most courses. Be open and flexible to new learning opportunities. All courses are designed to be engaging and to develop critical and creative thinking.

Course PlacementEach round of PEAC Courses ~750 students are sorted and placed into ~45 courses.

The primary goal of the sorting process is to place ALL students into one of their preferred courses.

The computer-based sorting program works through the students’ preferences in order of 1st to 4th in order to get all students placed into a course. Students in Year 6 have been weighted slightly higher to enable them a greater chance of getting a higher order preference. If a student is placed into any one of their preferred courses it is considered a successful placement.

Further informationPlease visit our website for more information: www.northmetropeac.wa.edu.au.


Course Selection InstructionsLogin to the PEAC App using the following information:

• Student’s name (as written on their school enrolment form)

• Home School

• Date of Birth

You will be prompted to select 4 out of the courses on offer. The chance of course placement is limited by entering fewer courses. We will do our best to place your child into one of your preferred options but in the event it is not possible, you will be notified and asked to select another option.

Additional Information• As long as the course preferences are submitted before the closing date, the actual time of submission has no effect on the sorting

process.

• Use a parent email address when requested. This will be used for course information correspondence and record of course achievement delivery.

• If you have any difficulties entering your preferences, please see your school’s PEAC Coordinator for assistance.

If the problem cannot be resolved, submit the student’s preference by email to PEAC Admin including full name, Date of Birth, school and parent email.

A Letter of Course Placement informing you of the venue, day and time of the course into which your child has been enrolled will be email to the parent address supplied and to the home school.

To nominate for all courses, please proceed to the PEAC Course Preference System

and follow the links:

You will be working with experts and scientists to ensure a sustainable food supply now and into the future. Alternative food sources will be explored. Insects anyone? Sentinel bees are guarding our coast, why? What is biosecurity and why do we need a seed vault? Explore the ways technology can help us to ensure we provide food for a growing population. We will look at fair trade to ensure producers are being supported around the world. Will you accept the challenge? Your next dinner may depend on it!
