Year 10B Program Overview
Year 10B marks the fourth year of the SEAL program, accelerating students through the first four years of secondary schooling to create more time to prepare for senior school and access a wide range of extension opportunities. 10B students will continue with two of their accelerated subjects (English and Maths), are strongly encouraged to accelerate into Year 11 subjects (including continuing with Indonesian), and must meet the mandatory Health, Science and Humanities requirements. The remaining subject blocks will be filled with Year 10 electives.
All Year 10B students complete subjects that fall into four categories.
Full Year Core Curriculum - all students do 10B English and Pre-Methods Maths for the entire year.
Half Year Core Curriculum - all students do one semester each of Health, Science and History.
Year 10 Electives - a wide range of one semester elective subjects can be selected from across seven learning areas.
Year 11 Electives as Acceleration - students can apply to complete a Year 11 subject (full year) as a Year 10 student to get a headstart on their senior years pathway (see Apply to Accelerate page for more information)
Throughout Year 10, students will participate in a variety of careers education activities to start to develop their plan for what their senior school pathway will be. However, if you already have a good idea about what you might want to do after finishing Year 12, then use that as guide when choosing your electives for next year.
