Junior Secondary


Stage 5 - Years 9 and 10
 
Stage 5 is traditionally the time when students and parents begin to choose elective subjects. It is a time when students begin to take greater responsibility for their learning and are able to examine and explore complex ideas and social issues.

The introduction of our new course in Year 9 is aimed at helping young people understand how effective learning occurs, what skills are needed and to be able to set appropriate learning goals. Research shows that the more students are empowered to learn, the better their progress and performance.

Year 9 and 10 electives offered may include:

  • Commerce
  • Music
  • Drama
  • Visual Arts
  • Information and Software Technology
  • Design and Technology
  • Industrial Technology
  • Textiles
  • Food Technology

In addition, an Academic Adviser is responsible for the oversight of the progress and performance of each student. A Year Adviser is responsible for Pastoral Care. These two roles are part of our Student Wellbeing Program.
