Welcome to our High School

In Classes 7 - 10 all students do main lessons in the morning, with practice lessons after the main lesson.

Our program comprises the following subject areas:

Main Lessons:

English, History, Geography, Mathematics and Science, held in blocks of 3 or 4 weeks, for one and a half hours per day for 4 days a week. Year 10 has additionally a ML in Art History and in Design and Technology.

Period Lessons:

Undertaken in the middle sessions of the day, usually twice per subject a week, 45 minutes a session, for one, two, three or four terms according to subject.

Subjects are: Personal Development, French (Class 7, 8 and 9 for 2 terms each), Visual Arts, Design and Technology, Humanities, Music/Technology, Mathematics Practice, Science Experiments, Geography and Physical Education.

Electives:

From "As You Like It" (more info)

Our elective program operates from years 7 - 10 and allows students the flexibility to both 'try out' new subjects and to specialise in areas of passion. It aslo serves the important purpose of helping students achieve the required number of hours prescribed by the Board of Studies in the areas of Visual & Performing Arts, D&T and Sport.  Much of the work in electives supports the practical work required in main & general class lessons.  The electives also help younger students develop a skills foundation for specialisation at HSC

The structure is one session of 60 minutes per day with a selection of 4 of 5 choices each day taken from: Visual Arts (drawing, painting. sculpture, ceramics), Music/ Creative Computers, Music-Band, Choir, Orchestra, Drama, Design and Technology, Photography, Sport and Surfing.
