Types of HSC Courses

SENIOR SCHOOL COURSES

There are far more courses available at St John's than in most other comparable schools. Such a breadth of curriculum demands a delicate balance of finances and any changes to subject offerings have to be considered carefully. St John’s is committed to continuing to provide the best possible choices.

YEAR 11 AND YEAR 12 (HSC) UNITS

Most subjects are divided into two parts – Year 11 and Year 12. Those courses designated as Year 11 must be successfully studied before the HSC part of that course may be attempted. All courses offered have a unit value. Most courses are 2 unit courses, involving at least 240 hours of study Year 11 and Year 12. There are extension courses in some subjects. In English and Mathematics there are extension courses available at Year 11 and Year 12 levels.
