Stage 5 Information 2021 - Electives

When choosing Electives for Years 9 & 10, there are no pre-requisites needed for any Year 11 and 12 courses of study.

It is important that students design their own program of courses for Year 9 and 10 to suit their interests and needs.

Students may choose either 100 hour (1 year) or 200 hour (2 year) courses.

Choosing the most appropriate subjects is very important as your choice is for the next one or two years. Please choose wisely. Ask questions of older students and discuss your choices with parents and teachers. Here are a few points to remember while making your choices:

• Choose subjects YOU like

• Choose subjects in which you will do WELL

• DON’T choose subjects because your friends are choosing them.

Selecting 100 hour courses will allow students to study four different Electives across Years 9 and 10. Choosing to study two 200 hour courses over Years 9 and 10 is still an option, as well as one 200 hour course combined with two 100 hour courses.

The Elective courses will be delivered in one or a combination of ways:

• Face to face

• Distance Education (by correspondence through Karabar High, our Regional Providers, with support)

• NSW School of Languages

Please see Mr Turnbull regarding any elective courses that you may wish to study by Distance Education.
