S1 LEARNERS MOVING TO S2

S2 is part of the Broad General Education (BGE) phase so students must continue to study each of the eight national curricular areas. Within this there will be some limited options for personalisation where you choose subjects within a curricular area/faculty but can't leave any of them. So for example, you will be able to choose between Chemistry with Physics or Chemistry with Biology but you won't be able to choose to drop Science. Likewise, you will be able to choose between Modern Studies, Geography or History but cannot drop Humanities. You therefore have less input than when you choose your subjects for S4, when you aren't required to take all curricular areas and your courses will lead on to qualifications. 

Within the next few weeks, you will have the opportunity to complete options forms. Information and guidance will accompany the options forms.
