Courses Offered
When choosing a program of study, the following should be considered: Prerequisites As outlined in the Prerequisites and Course Descriptions. Academic Ability In order to achieve success in many Senior School subjects, students need to have demonstrated a high degree of academic ability and achievement in Year 10 courses. Without this background, students invariably have difficulty with Year 11 course content. Interests The variety of courses available give students the opportunity to pursue their particular interests at whatever level they are able to perform. Future Intentions Whether planning to seek employment after Secondary Graduation or continuing with further studies such as TAFE, tertiary or other, students should choose subjects that will maximise their options for the future. Students should also be aware that many TAFE qualifications can lead to university entry with advanced standing, the ATAR pathway is not the only avenue to university entrance. |
