Subject Help

• Today's society is changing rapidly and so is the range and requirements of careers. It is important for students to prepare themselves so that their options will be as wide as possible. To do this, students need to follow a few guidelines -
• Keep your options open - choose a spread of subjects.
• Do something you like and in which you are interested.
• Do something you know you are good at.
• Discuss your options with your parents, teachers, Dean.
• Consider the subjects you may wish to study in future.
• You may have a career in mind. Check you are on the right path with the Careers Adviser or the program Careers Quest on the school network.
• If you have any questions about the subject or you are uncertain about your ability to complete the year's work, talk to the teacher, Head of Faculty, or Dean
• Many subjects for senior School have prerequisites, i.e. subjects or grades you must achieve before you are permitted to take the subject. Make sure you have these prerequisites before you enrol for the subject. If you are unsure, see your Dean or the Head of Faculty of the subject.
