Overview
Years 9 & 10
Structure & Choice
We believe that it is essential to provide our students with plenty of choice. Research is clear, when students feel they are in control of their learning they are more likely to engage deeply with the content and achieve excellent learning outcomes.
Depending on interest and need, our Year 9 & 10 students have the opportunity to:
experience a broad range of subject modules;
specialise in specific areas of interest & passion;
enrol in modules designed to cater for specific academic levels;
advance into Preliminary HSC Courses;
prepare for potential future occupations and pathways by completing VET Courses.
