Elective subject selection Year 8-9

Welcome to our stage 5 (Year 9 and 10) elective program. This program is designed to give students the opportunity to explore and discover beyond the core curriculum.

Elective choices are stepping stones to further important decisions about what students may want to study in Year 11 and 12 and what they may want to do when they leave school.

This is a time to be adventurous and try new subjects. Your selections will help you discover what interests you, what doesn’t, what you’re good at and what you enjoy.

How many electives will I study in Year 9?

In Year 9 students are required to study three elective courses:

  • Two 200-hour courses
  • One 100-hour course

200-hour elective courses go for two years so students will study them in Year 9 and continue them in Year 10. 

100-hour elective courses are for one year duration only. Students will study one 100-hour elective course in Year 9 and choose a different 100-hour elective course next year to study in Year 10.

Elective course options 

Course descriptions for 2025 electives will be available in term 3 2024.
