Year 9 and 10 Focus

Choosing your subjects for Years 11 and 12

If you want to go to university when you finish school, you can start to get to know the environment by going to see a career counsellor on campus. 

• You can ask about different courses.
• Find what is new in the fields you like. 
• Find out about different subjects (units) that you can take.
• Find what subjects you MUST study in your WACE as pre-requisite courses.

Most students go with a friend or family member. Just search for “career advice” at the uni of your choice. 

Year 11 Results Important for Uni Entrance

You need to start getting great results right from the start of Year 11. 

If you apply for an early offer at a university, they will use your Year 11 results to decide if they will offer you a place.
