Aim of Year 10 Course Selection

In Term 3, all students wishing to enrol into Year 10 for the next school year are required to complete the Course Selection process outlined on this site.  

At Year 10, students complete four electives over the year, two in each semester. These will be allocated according to the order of student preference requests and the availability of elective subjects on the timetable when it is constructed.  Prior student results and student participation in a range of co-curricular activities are considered when course counselling occurs. Students will also have the opportunity to access a VCE subject, if their results in Year 9 are above expected level.

The aim of the Course Selection process is to choose a course that is well researched and suited to the individual student.  The following steps will ensure students are confident in the choices they make not only for Year 10, but for Year 11 & 12.   Through discussions with parents, students should submit a list of preferred subjects they wish to undertake next year. 

In selecting a course of study students should consider:

• Subjects the student enjoys. 

• Subjects in which the student achieves success. 

• Subjects that they may need for future study or work  

• Subjects which maintain and develop the student’s special skills and talents.  

• Subjects that give them a balanced course.
