Year 9 & 10 Electives 2022
It may seem early, but we are already looking to determine our electives for Years 9 and 10 for 2022.
This will be a two-stage process:
- Students currently in Years 8 and 9 nominate eight (8) preferences the four (4) Electives that they will take next year. This data feeds directly into the creation of the 2022 timetable. Student selections determine if specific electives run and how many classes of each elective are filled, limited by the availability of specialist rooms and teachers.
- Student allocations will be communicated and students may request a change dependent on space and other student movements (Term 4).
It is anticipated that there will be no movement of students between electives at the start of 2022.
Given the timetable is created around student selections, it is important that students consider their choices seriously. It should also be noted that there are no prerequisites moving into senior College (Years 11 and 12), so students are encouraged to select broadly and experience a range of subjects. However, many electives have two units on offer that, depending on student choice, can allow keen students to effectively choose to complete a year-long subject, or to take one in Year 9 and another in Year 10.
Students will be emailed their login details for Web preferences during Week 2 and they will be instructed to select 8 preferences. Ideally, students would get their first 4 preferences, however, in reality, some lower preferences will need to be accessed and they should be carefully considered. No student will be allocated an elective not on their list. Students who do not make their selection by the deadline may be allocated to available spaces once the timetable is created.
Week 2, Friday 23 July: Web Preferences open to students to select electives – unit descriptions can be accessed through this program.
Week 4, Monday 2 August: Web Preferences close to students.
Term 4: Publication of allocations; one week opportunity to reselect two (2) electives.
