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:

1. Does the subject fit with the career the student wishes to follow?
2. Can the student cope with the subject?
3. Does the subject appeal to the student?
4. Can the subject be taken in subsequent years?
5. Is there an advantage to taking this subject beyond the purely "useful"?

• 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
