At Brunswick Secondary College Year 9 students complete a core (compulsory) curriculum. Additionally, the college offers a program of elective subjects fundamental to its commitment to engaging and extending students throughout the middle years of schooling. 

Core subjects

Year 10 students complete core subjects in the Learning Areas of  English, Mathematics, Home Group, Humanities, Science and Health/PE.

Elective subjects

In addition to the core curriculum, students choose 2 elective subjects to study each semester. Elective subjects enable students to enrich their education by specialising in areas in which they have a particular interest or talent. This flexibility in the learning program promotes deeper engagement and supports higher achievement.  Elective subjects also provide the opportunity for Year 9 students  to mix with students from outside their Home Group.  

Student choices determine which electives will run.

Note:   All elective subjects are one semester in length, with the exception of Bushwhacked and Languages which both run for the entire year.  If students choose to study either of these subjects, they will need to select them for both Semester 1 & 2.
