STAGE 1 (YEAR 11) PATTERN OF STUDY
In Stage 1 and Stage 2, students choose courses from a broad range of SACE offerings and may choose to specialise in a particular pathway or complete a more diverse course. All pathways to further study and work are strongly supported and our students make successful transitions to post-school destinations. University and TAFE entrance and Vocational Education and Training (VET) are well catered for within the school program.
Most subjects offered at STAGE 1 require successful completion of the same or a related subject at Year 10. A recommendation from the year 10 teacher or Curriculum coordinator is also required and will be visible on the end of semester reports.
Students will be expected to select a range of subjects (usually 14) in preferential order. The timetable will be based on these preferences. As such there is no guarantee of a student getting exactly what they selected, so preference order is important.
Compulsory units:
The single semester choice subjects in each learning area are as follows:
AGRICULTURE
ARTS
CROSS-DISCIPLINARY STUDIES
DESIGN, TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING
HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION
HUMANITIES
MATHEMATICS
SCIENCE
