Criteria for Elective Class Numbers
An elective class will only run if it reaches the minimum number of students to make it viable. This will vary between subjects, due to the availability of practical spaces/classrooms and the nature of the subject.
If an elective class is subscribed beyond its capacity, students' Reserve choices will be applied.
If all of a student's preferred choice subjects are subscribed beyond capacity, final subject selections will be decided upon by a process developed by the school, including discussion and consultation with the student, to best meet the individual needs of the students within the guidelines for subject selections and minimum/maximum requirements for completing studies in a range of subject areas.
