Subject selection for Year 11 and Year 12 courses

The final two years of school are very special and should be a fulfilling experience for all. Importantly, they open pathways to future possibilities for further study and career aspirations for each student.

Subject choices for Years 11 and 12 should be considered along with career goals and futures planning. Although a successful HSC journey will involve significant and sustained hard work, most students find this time satisfying and personally rewarding. School is, of course, about much more than the subjects taken and the most successful students are those who remain or become fully involved in the life of the school, whether it be through sport, cultural activities, service and/or social opportunities.

Hunter River High School prides itself on being able to provide thorough quality advice to ensure that individual students can select the course which most appropriately reflects their abilities, interests, and aspirations. Selecting subjects for the HSC is not a simple or hurried consideration, hence the reason we start the process in mid-Term 2. It is important for students to discuss the course offerings as they relate to their individual interests and abilities with a wide variety of people to make informed decisions about subject selection.

This booklet aims to assist students, and their parents/carers select courses of study to obtain a Higher School Certificate.
