Year 9 & 10

Year 9 & 10

In Years 9 and 10, the students will have the opportunity to begin specialising in curriculum areas that suit their individual abilities and interests.

  • Students will be given the choice of two (2) elective subjects that they must keep throughout Years 9 and 10. It is therefore very important to choose wisely.
  • If students choose a Language as one of their electives, they must choose only from the two languages they have studied in Year 8.
  • Years 9 and 10 courses are valuable areas of study in their own right. Each provide a good foundation for Years 11 and 12 study in a variety of courses.
