JUNIOR SCHOOL
A significant portion of the Junior Secondary curriculum is set by the NSW Board of Studies as a mandatory set of
subjects that all students must complete to conclude the Junior Course.
Years 7 and 8:
Subjects offered in Year 7 and 8 are almost entirely a set core group of courses that must be studied to meet NSW Board
of Studies requirements. Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, Personal Development, Health Physical

In 2014/15 the LOTE subject the students are able to study is French. The Year 7 and 8's participate in learning every two weeks, which teaches them their preferred way of learning, and also studying. Years 9 and 10: In Years 9 and 10, with a significant amount of the compulsory core group of subjects completed, students begin to excercise elective choice across 3 lines of study. Th core compulsory subjects are: Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, PDHPE, Mandatory History and Mandatory Geography.
