Duration of an elective subject

We expect that students will enrol in an elective subject for the full year

Students will be permitted to change out of an elective mid-way through the year only if there are serious mitigating circumstances and only if there are available places in the alternative subject

Students in Year 9 may change electives in Year 10

All electives do prepare students for Senior Secondary subjects in Year 11 and 12Slide12
