Year 10/11/12 Rock Climbing Camp at Freycinet National Park

Year 10/11/12 Rock Climbing Camp - Freycinet National Park

A group of Year 10-12 Outdoor Education students, together with staff, headed off yesterday to experience the beautiful coastal environment of Freycinet National Park. They are enjoying hiking, swimming and rock climbing and abseiling at the Whitewater Wall in the national park area. For some students this camp will count as the adventurous journey for their Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Secondary Electives

Last week, parents and carers of students in Year 7, 8 and 9 received email communication with links to the 2025 subject elective forms.

 

Late last term, students registered their interest in different courses. This information was used to help finalise the elective lines. Parents and carers are asked to now complete the final subject selections.

 

Please read the instructions carefully and discuss the selections with your child. The forms must be completed by Friday, 1 November.

 

Current Year 9 Students

Students moving into Year 10 in 2025 will select a total of four electives. Two of these should be those electives studied in Year 9. Students will then select two new electives. From Year 10, the study of Indonesian and Japanese becomes optional. If students elect to study a language, they may discontinue one of their Year 9 electives.

Students moving into Year 9 in 2025 should note that the two electives they choose in Year 9 will continue in Year 10, with the addition of another two electives they will choose the following year. Students will also need to select a language, either Indonesian or Japanese.
