Making Choices

Subject Selection Planning

While selecting Year 10 subjects students are encouraged to complete the Subject Selection Planning Sheet to map out possible pathways in Years 10-12.

Things to Think About

During Term 3 of Year 9 you are asked to make subject choices which provide the foundation for your final two years of schooling. These choices may affect your access to tertiary courses and your career path. It is very important that you read the information contained in Pathways carefully, as well as making full use of the resources available to you –  people, publications and information sessions – to help you make good decisions.

When choosing Year 10 subjects you should consider whether the subjects I choose allow me to get into courses I might want to do once I finish school (even if I do not know what that is yet)?

The Year 10 Subject Selection Student Workbook is sent via email to all Year 9 students as they begin the subject selection process. It contains information that will assist you selecting Year 10 subjects and includes the advice to:

  • Select subjects that you like.
  • Select the hardest Mathematics subject you feel you can manage.
  • Keep going with a LOTE if you can.

Following these guidelines, whilst still adhering to the rules of subject selection, usually results in selection of the best possible subject combination.
