Getting Started with Course Selection
The aim of this website is to provide a guide to students in planning their pathways towards further education, training and employment.
It contains a detailed list of courses to be offered at this school, along with a listing of teachers who can give you guidance with your course selections.
In choosing subjects, some questions that should be asked are:
- Does the subject fit with the career the student wishes to follow?
- Can the student cope with the subject?
- Does the subject appeal to the student?
- Can the subject be taken in subsequent years?
- Is there an advantage to taking this subject beyond the purely "useful"?
Remember: Make your own choices and think about the following:
- What are you interested in?
- What are you good at?
- What do you enjoy?
- If you know what you want to do/study when you leave school - what subjects do they suggest?
Who can you talk to for advice?
- Parents and caregivers
- Teachers
- School Deans
- Your school's careers team
