Instructions for completing subject selection sheet for students going into Year 9

Make selections for both semesters. In one of the  two semesters you will undertake the Community Challenge program as part of your selections.

1. You will still choose subjects from each Learning  Area apart from German. If you wish to study German, you can choose it instead of a subject from any of the other Learning Areas, apart from English or Maths. In the second semester, you must substitute for a different Learning Area.
2. In general, you will choose subjects at Year 9 for the first semester. If your results from the previous year are not satisfactory, you may need to continue at Year 8 level in that area of study. Your House Manager and your teachers will discuss this with you.
3. Most students will continue to work at Year 9 level in Semester 2. In some cases, students may be able to move into one or more Year 10 level subjects, depending on results.
4. You will not be able to move on to the next level in any Learning Area until you achieve a satisfactory standard at the previous level.
5. Before you make your selection for each Learning Area, refer to your current classroom teacher and to the information page for each Learning Area for specific rules.
