The Curriculum broadens at senior level to include a
number of courses which offer students opportunities – PRINCIPAL
to follow specific vocational interests. The Gateway
and Academy programmes are also available to
senior students. They allow students to gain practical
experience and assessment in the workplace. They
also assist students to decide on their preferred type
of employment and, in some cases, for employers to
look at them as prospective employees. Many of these
students go on to be apprentices.
The selection of subjects is an important process, one
that requires the input of parents, caregivers and staff
alike. We encourage you and your son to take the
time to examine carefully the information contained
in this curriculum guide.
Subject Selection Evening for students and parents/
caregivers to discuss subject selection for 2022 will be
held at 5.30 – 7.30pm on Wednesday 4 August 2021, in
the School Hall.YEAR 9 DEANS’ LETTER
