Why choose Commerce?

Commerce is all about understanding the real world - money, law, work, and how choices shape society. You’ll explore topics like buying goods, starting a business, saving and investing, and learn your rights as a consumer and citizen. 

Whether it’s navigating the workplace, understanding social issues, or even planning your own travel budget, Commerce gives you practical skills for everyday life. If you’re curious about how the world runs - and how you can take part in it - Commerce is a great pick. It’s fun, useful, and helps you think like a future entrepreneur, voter, or decision-maker.

Why choose Japanese?

This course builds on what you learned in Year 7 Japanese, helping you go further with your speaking, reading, listening and writing skills. 

Studying a language helps you connect with people and cultures in meaningful ways. You'll learn how to exchange information and opinions in real conversations. You’ll understand and respond to texts, like videos, messages and stories, and use them to explore new ideas. You’ll also get to create your own texts for real-world purposes. 

Whether you're planning future travel, career opportunities, or just curious about the world, learning a language gives you the tools to communicate, understand others, and express yourself in exciting new ways.
