Our Subject Selection Process is designed to offer a series of opportunities for academic advice, and to give as many students as possible their preferred choices for subjects.
The process of subject selection takes place with a series of steps in Term 3. After students and parents have attended a Subject Selection Information Evening and indicated their Initial Preferences through an online program, senior staff will review each student's selections. After the initial preferences have been checked, Subject Lines are then constructed to create the best outcome possible for the grade as a whole, using a program that searches for the best possible combination of subjects.
Inevitably, choices will have to be made when there are 'clashes' on the lines generated. Further, final subjects offered will be dependent on adequate numbers of students selecting individual courses (a minimal initial enrolment of ten students is required in most instances).
At the conclusion of the subject selection process, a Confirmation Letter will be sent home and this may include reserve choices, or indications of alternative subjects. Where difficult choices need to be made, interviews can be arranged with the Director of Learning & Teaching and other senior staff to help the student make the best choice from the available options.
