The information below relates to last year’s course selection process. This page will be updated with information about Course Selection for 2025 as it becomes available.
The course selection process is a partnership between parents, students and our staff. It is essential to talk with your child about their future aspirations and to use all available resources to make informed decisions about pathways and subject choices.
Compulsory, elective and free choice subjects vary at each year level. Details about pathways and individual subjects are available in the Course Selection Guides.
