All students in Years 9 and 10 will study English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, PDHPE, and three electives.
CORE SUBJECTS
English: English will run in mixed-ability classes for Term 1, 2024. From Term 2, students will get to choose a selection of mini electives to complete their English curriculum through to the end of Year 10. The mini electives will allow all students to have choice over the compulsory themes and topics of the English syllabus.
Maths: Maths will run in mixed-ability classes for Term 1, 2024.

PDHPE & Sport: PDHPE and Sport will be delivered as part of all students’ pattern of study.
History: History will be delivered as an elective. Students must choose History for one semester as one of their electives somewhere between the start of Year 9 and the final semester of Year 10.
Geography: Geography will be delivered as an elective. Students must choose Geography for one semester as one of their electives somewhere between the start of Year 9 and the final semester of Year 10.
ELECTIVES
Students get to choose three (3) electives each semester. At some point, all students will have to include History and Geography in their choices, but otherwise, the choice is up to each individual on the subjects they choose (provided we have enough students to run the class). This means that across the duration of Year 9 and 10 students will complete a total of ten electives, plus History and Geography.
