Subject selection

Subject selection gives students the opportunity to tailor their learning to their interests, strengths and future goals. By choosing from a range of academic, creative and practical subjects, students can build a pathway that supports their career aspirations and personal development, while gaining the skills and knowledge needed for future success.

Year 8 into Year 9

Students in Year 8 have the opportunity to choose three electives. Subjects chosen as an X or Y elective run for two years, the subject chosen as a Z elective runs for one year. A new Z elective will need to be chosen at the end of Year 9 for the student to complete during Year 10.
