Parents and students should note that-
Every effort will be made to place students in subjects of their first choice. However, the school cannot guarantee this absolutely because:
  • if too few students elect to take the subject it will have to be cancelled;
  • if staff are not available to teach the subject it will have to be cancelled;
  • if students submit late selections or make last minute changes to subject choices, they may find that some courses have already been filled or cancelled.

Student choices which have been approved by the SACE counselling panel may be binding because the purchase of books and materials, as well as the staffing of the school will be based on them. Changes will only be possible at a later stage, in the following circumstances:

  • subject selections will have to be changed if grades at the end of Year 10 result in entry conditions not being satisfied;
  • special arrangements are made with the School Principal, Year 11 Coordinator (Ms Prest), Year 12 Coordinator (Mr Bailey) or Student Counsellor (Mrs Pirone)

The Writing-based Literacy Assessment (WBLA)
While the writing-based literacy assessment does not directly affect a student’s subject choices it is a requirement of the SACE. This is an assessment of writing skills which students must complete satisfactorily in order to be awarded the SACE. The assessment is based on four pieces of writing of a minimum 250 words each, each written in the context of a subject they are studying.

  • one from English, English in Use or English as a Second Language
  • one from Arts/Humanities/Social and Cultural Studies;
  • one from Mathematics/Science/Technology
  • one other from any subject of the student’s choice.

Students submit a folio of the four pieces of writing for assessment at Stage 1 level (usually in Year 11), but may resubmit work, as often as necessary during their SACE Studies (until the WBLA requirements are satisfied).
