We are introducing extension variations of English, Mathematics and Science for students who are looking to extend their learning and are seeking a pathway through Years 11 and 12 to university education. These classes will cover the Australian Curriculum in more depth, at a faster pace and will have assessments that are more challenging to prepare students for subjects such as Maths Methods, General Maths, Literature, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in Years 11 and 12. It is recommended that students selecting these subjects are achieving an A or B in Year 9 in the corresponding subject. 

Students in core English, Mathematics and Science classes will also learn the Australian Curriculum however the learning will be more practical, paced to meet the learning needs of students in the class. Assessment will still meet the Achievement Standard in the Australian Curriculum.

 

Elective subjects cover the breadth and depth of the Humanities, Languages, Arts and Technologies learning areas as well as offering a range of subjects that support the transition into senior schooling. Students select three electives for each semester and may choose additional Humanities subjects if they desire.
