Year 7 students will study a full year program in English, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education and Health, and Studies of Society and Environment. They will also study a language other than English (LOTE) for the full year - choosing one from French, Japanese, and Indonesian, or Multicultural Studies.Year 8 All students will study a full-year program of English, Maths, Science, Studies of Society and Environment, Physical Education and Health (which includes a term of Nutrition and Food Studies), and either their LOTE choice or Technology. Year 9 & Year 10 All except LOTE students will study a full two-year program of English, Maths, Science, Studies of Society and Environment, Physical Education and Health, The Arts, and Technology. Programs dealing with College information and work awareness skills have been established for Year 10 students. Students are provided with support, information and counselling resources to assist with their career/educational decision making. Careers counselling is available to all students. However, those who are terminating formal schooling in Year 9 and 10 are strongly encouraged to seek assistance. A number of in-school activities including guest speakers such as "tradeswomen on the move", give specific insights into major career areas. College visits, interviews, and the Careers' Market are encouraged to enhance student awareness. A great deal of emphasis is also placed on college and other choices in first semester (for Year 10's) to assist students to make appropriate choices for their transition from high school in the following year.
