2 A-level Programs

All students undertake 6 subjects in each semester. For most of our students, one of these 6 subjects in the second semester is the Research Project. At Stage 1, a few subjects are offered as pairs of units, both of which are seen a prerequisites for Stage 2. Subjects in this category include English, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Maths, Physics, Chemistry and General Mathematics. However, most of the subjects offered at Year 11 are offered as single units. These provide the opportunity for students to try a range of subjects before making a commitment at Year 12.

Our Year 12 students generally undertake 5 subjects at Year 12. Moreover, the Year 12 experience includes a challenging set of mid-year examinations, set in part to prepare students for the final SACE examination or external assessment experience, but also as an important component of the Partner’s Pathway in their own right. For most of the Year 12 subjects, there is a lecture-tutorial system. These sessions are designed to maximise opportunities to learn skills and concepts in an effective manner and at the same time, to extend and refine student knowledge and understanding through discussion, debate and practical activities.
