Course Selection

In selecting subjects for Stage 1 and Stage 2, students should consider the following:

• In which subjects am I most successful?
• Which subjects do I enjoy the most?
• What are my plans for the future?
• Which subjects are necessary or best to help me achieve my goals?
• Can I be successful in those subjects?
• Am I keeping my options open so I can change my mind about what I want to do in the future?
• Which subjects will let me maintain a balance between study and leisure time?
• Which subjects will help me develop skills in areas that interest me?
• Which subjects will help me better understand the world and my role as an adult in it?

Future Plans

Some students starting Year 11 and 12 have clear ideas about career pathways or potential directions for the future. Many, however, do not. It can often take a long time for young people to make decisions about their future, sometimes long after finishing Year 12 and well into tertiary study.

Eynesbury provides some guidance in the process of decision-making about the future. Students can access Career Voyage, a careers and interests software program available on the College network.

Our Student Counsellor can provide detailed information about careers, courses and tertiary entrance requirements as well as general advice.

Eynesbury's Timetable

Eynesbury's timetable offers unique opportunities for students to be flexible with their subject choices. The timetable is generated after most students have chosen subjects, unlike in other schools, where students are given choices from defined combinations. Because of our flexibility, students can:

• undertake specialist sport commitments

• study subjects which Eynesbury does not offer [for example, certain languages and dance], in other schools

When considering subjects to be studied at Eynesbury, you will need to identify if you intend to study elsewhere and whether this study is at Stage 1 or Stage 2 level.

Counselling Procedures

It is important that students, parents and caregivers, together with Eynesbury staff, are involved in the subject selection process. Subject Selection booklets will be distributed, Information sessions for parents and students will be held, interviews will be conducted on a one to one basis, and follow-up will occur as required by families or staff at Eynesbury. We want all students to be supported in this important decision-making process.
