year 11

In Year 11 there is a strong emphasis on independence, communication and the transition to a post school environment.

This is an important year for students to explore a wider range of subjects in line with their interests and strengths, and to challenge themselves academically. Students will be gaining a better understanding of their preferred pathway for Year 12 and beyond.

Students are supported by the same Head of Year throughout Year 11 and Year 12 as we understand the importance of strong and stable relationships with key academic and support staff over this period.

All students complete compulsory Stage 1 SACE subjects for Literacy and Numeracy and can start their Stage 2 Research Project. 

With English and Mathematics as the two core subjects, students will have multiple subject choices across a range of key learning areas:

• Design, Technology and Engineering
• Digital Technologies
• Health and Personal Development
• Humanities
• Languages
• Music
• Outdoor Education
• Physical Education
• Sciences
• Visual Arts
• Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Year 11 students will also have one RAVE lesson each week.

Further learning and growth opportunities occur outside the classroom through leadership responsibilities, a broad range of extra-curricular clubs and activities, an extensive sports program and performing art opportunities.
