2025 Year 8 Electives Released
2025 Year 8 ‘Elective’ subjects have been posted on Compass under the ‘Reports’ tab, in the file called ‘2025 Year 8 Electives’. Students and families are encouraged to review the Electives when possible (outside of class time). It is understandable that a lot of families may have questions regarding the Electives that are allocated, and may even request for a change in some subjects. Please note that there can be multiple Electives that run a semester, and class lists cannot be determined from the information provided.
Form groups for 2025 will be released before the 6th Dec.
Please note that we have done what we can to place students in their top preferences/reserves (as required) for Electives, and the Electives class sizes are extremely tight for Year 8 in 2025. As a result, it is likely that minimal changes will be able to be facilitated. Subject changes are not guaranteed and are based on a range of factors, including timetabling, staff availability, class sizes and research and effort demonstrated by a student throughout this year. We know that regardless of the outcome, that you/your child will endeavour to do their best in whatever subject they are in.
If students wish to request an Elective change, they must fill in the following form: https://forms.office.com/r/FPDYDSasRf
This form is due Wednesday, 27th November at 4pm.
If you have any questions, please email at: Elly.Stewart@education.vic.gov.au.
Please note that Elective Subject change requests can ONLY be actioned through submitting the form above.
