Welcome to our 100-hour electives for Year 10 students (part of our Stage 5 elective program).
This program is designed to give Year 10 students the opportunity to explore and discover beyond the core curriculum.
Choosing electives is an important step towards what you may want to study in Year 11 and Year 12 and what you may want to do when you leave school.
In Year 10, you are required to continue the two 200-hour electives you commenced in Year 9, as well as study a new 100-hour elective.
Your new 100-hour elective will replace the 100-hour elective you completed in Year 9.
Course descriptions for 2025 elective courses will be available in term 3 2024.
Instructions for submitting your 2025 elective selections will be available in term 3 2024.
If you don't think your elective is for you, you can request to change by notifying the Head Teacher of Administration by the end of Week 4 Term 1 of Year 10. You will need to complete a change of elective form which can be found in the forms and downloads section of the website.
Assessment strategies are no different from in your core subjects. Teachers will use a variety of assessment methods to monitor your learning progression. There’s also a focus on assessing your progression in the future learning skills of communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.
Talk to your class teachers and parents/carers in the first instance. If you still need help, please see our Head Teacher of Administration or your Deputy Principal.
Some elective subjects involve extra fees and some have compulsory excursions as part of their course. Subject costs are outlined on each individual course outline sheet. It’s important to talk to your parents and carers before selecting an elective that involves additional fees.
No. All subjects involve theory and assignment work.
Subjects studied as electives in Year 9 and Year 10, are not necessarily pre-requisites for study in Year 11 and Year 12. In most cases you can study a subject in Year 11 and Year 12 without having studied it in Year 7 – Year 10. On the other hand, some background is always an advantage.
No, you can’t change your 200-hour elective in Year 10 as you won’t fulfil the required course hours and requirements to achieve your RoSA.
