Junior Courses

For a more detailed description of Junior Courses please consult the Curriculum Handbook 2013

Core Subjects

All Year 9 & 10 students follow a common core of Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and Health.

Year 9 Trimesters

Each Year 9 student takes three trimester subjects at a time, allowing nine trimester courses to be taken each year. Every student is thus exposed to the total range of subjects. This allows for a more informed choice at the Year 10 level and beyond, and fulfils the requirements of the National Curriculum Framework.
