All Year 10 students will study a combination of subjects that provide a range of valuable experiences, setting them up for the successful completion of the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).
Year 10 students study a combination of core and elective Australian Curriculum subjects. Year 10s choose 6 Elective Subjects to be studied throughout the year. Most Year 10 Elective Subjects are one semester in length. However, some subjects must be studied for a Full Year. Students should make their choices based on their own interests and their future directions.
We know that for students to be successful in Senior School, they need to have practised and mastered the skills presented in classes from Year 8 through to Year 10 in all subject areas. Students who do not demonstrate competency in the subjects of the year level they are currently in will not automatically go to the next year level. Student who do not demonstrate satisfactory achievement in Year 10 English and Maths will not progress to Year 11 at our main campus. The school will work individually with students and parents/caregivers in order to provide the tools for a student to have the greatest opportunity for success.
For an overview of our subject offerings and requirements at Year 10, please see Year 10 Subject Offerings below.
