COURSE CHOICE The school will make every effort to design a timetable which gives as many students as possible their choice of courses. You will need to select six courses in order of preference. An English course is the only one which must be studied by all students. Students who do not intend to sit 4 or more external exams (ATAR) are required to enrol in Career and Enterprise to enhance their vocational options. REMEMBER: This is an important decision. You can only be guided by information from the booklet, parents, teachers and fellow students. Your future is up to you and you must make the final decision. It will not be easy but well worthy of your time commitment. DECISION-MAKING CHECKLIST The following questions should help you decide on your course of action... 1. What do I want to achieve from Upper School? 2. To achieve this do I have to do a particular course? Are there courses that, while not essential, seem relevant? 3. If I don't know what I want, what courses will interest me and keep my options for the future as open as possible? 4. Do my selections fit a pathway that could lead to future study or employment? 5. With the courses I have chosen, have I currently reached the prerequisites or recommended background? Have ATAR selections been approved by the relevant HOLA? 6. Once I have selected courses necessary for my future plans, I need to consider other courses according to my interests. What I'm good at, what my workload will be like in Year 11 and personal preference. 7. Remember:- (a) You will be studying six courses in Year 11 (b) Choose an English Course (c) Choose at least one course from List B (d) You are not guaranteed that all of your choices will be available; however, you will be consulted about any changes that are necessary. Tertiary Bound Students: University – Ensure: i) You select an English ATAR course. ii) You have a minimum of 4 ATAR courses. iii) You have a total of 6 courses. iv) If you do not meet all of the recommendations, you must enrol in at least one VET Certificate II Course.

When you select Career and Enterprise you will automatically be placed into the Endorsed Program, Workplace Learning as a seventh choice. iii) You select one course from List ‗B‘. iv) You select at least one VET Certificate II Course. v) You select a total of six courses. - 8 -
