Next year will be the start of a whole new learning experience for your child. Whilst some curriculum areas will continue to be studied throughout Years 9 and 10, students will be able to choose three additional courses to study, as elective subjects. This will give them the opportunity to broaden their experiences and follow areas in which they have a passion.
The process of choosing the right course is a personal one. Students are encouraged to be responsible and realistic when they use this freedom to choose. They are advised to select subjects that tap into their aspirations and interests, where they can utilise their enthusiasm and strengths to achieve to their potential and become self-motivated, life-long learners.
This decision should not be made lightly. It is hoped that participation in their elected studies will inform their choices for study in the senior years, as many Stage 5 courses (Years 9 and 10) serve as a good introduction to Stage 6 courses.
Students in Year 8 have the opportunity to choose three electives. Subjects chosen as an X or Y elective run for two years, the subject chosen as a Z elective runs for one year.
