Year 7 and 8 students will complete a total of four compulsory Electives this year.  The Year 7 Electives are Dance, Design and Technology, Digital Technologies and Music.  The Year 8 Electives are Visual Art, Media, Drama and Food Studies. Students complete two of these electives in semester 1 and the remaining two electives in semester 2. Next Semester, year 7 and 8 students will change classes to complete their remaining two Electives.  The Electives provide students with an opportunity to trial different Subjects and to begin forming areas of specialisation.

Year 9 Students 2022

We are currently in the process of planning our 2022 Year 9 Curriculum.  Year 9 students in 2022 will complete the following core subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, HPE, History/Geography and Economics/Business.  In addition to the core subjects, students will be required to select four Electives to complete during the year. 

Earlier this Term our current Year 8 students completed a Subject Preference Survey to provide information towards our curriculum plan for year 9 students in 2022. This year, students in Year 9 chose from the following Electives, Food Studies, Design Manufacturing Technologies, Design Engineering Technologies, Dance, Drama, Health, Sport and Exercise Science, Visual Art and Music.  In 2022, student will also be able to study Digital Technologies, Media Art and eSports. 

Current Year 8 students will complete their official Year 9 Subject Selections for 2022 early next Term.  

The Junior Secondary Curriculum Handbook is available on our College Website under the Curriculum tab.  It provides an overview and additional information about the Electives on offer.  Please have a conversation with your child to discuss their areas of interest.  It is important that students select subjects that align with their areas of interest and career aspirations.

We are currently in the process of planning our Year 10 curriculum for students in 2022.  Over the next few week parents/carers of year 9 students will receive information about Year 10 subjects on offer for 2022.  At the start of Term 3. students and parents/carers will be participating in Pathway Preparation Planning (PPP) sessions to discuss their pathways.  

I look forward to providing you with another update early next Term.
