Stage 5 Course information
Ku-ring-gai High School has a proud tradition of academic rigour and student engagement by focusing on learning, which is inspirational, creative and challenging.
When considering subject choices for Years 9 and 10:
1. Discuss subjects with your parents and teachers.
2. Listen to the advice of your parents and teachers.
3. Ensure that your choices are based on your interests, likes and abilities.
4. Understand your own capabilities, talents and skills.
Remember, your choice is to study the two additional subjects for two full years. It is for this reason that you need to ensure that you make an informed choice. Make sure you think very carefully before you make a choice and ensure that you are setting yourself up to enjoy and learn during your studies in Years 9 and 10.
Ku-ring-gai has chosen to offer the two-year courses as the time frame enables the building of knowledge, skills and processes over that time, to ensure learning matures as your child matures. Furthermore, Years 9 and 10 is the time to consolidate good study habits and set up a good foundation for the final years at school, ongoing tertiary and university study or career goals. The learning habits that are formed in Years 9 and 10 become the learning habits of the HSC.
This handbook will provide you with relevant information to help you select the subjects you will study in Years 9 and 10. Should you have any questions about subject selections or individual subjects, talk with your teachers, Head Teachers, Careers Advisor, Deputy Principal, or myself.
Best wishes and enjoy the opportunity to make an informed choice for your future.
