WELCOME

Welcome to the Senior Years of study. This website is a resource for students and their parents/guardians which is designed to assist students and parents to understand the structure of our Senior Years Program at Kyneton High School.  It has been compiled to enable students to make informed choices when selecting a course of subjects that supports their career aspirations and associated pathways.

Our Senior Years curriculum is designed to allow students:

• Breadth and depth of study: The flexibility of our Senior Program encourages all students to take a variety of studies, while providing them with the ability to specialise in a particular area. Students should carefully choose subjects to prepare them for a range of possible career options, and should not choose subjects that may overly restrict their career choices.

• Pursue interests and develop talents: It is advised students choose subjects they enjoy as they often perform better in these subjects. Beware of choosing subjects based on the impact of scaling in calculating the ATAR. Choosing subjects purely because they are ‘scaled up’ is not recommended, and it may actually disadvantage students when they choose studies in which they are not strong in. 

• The choice of subjects may ultimately determine how a student may spend a large proportion of their life and career, therefore they are advised to select subjects that will satisfy a future they are interested in.
