Subject Selection Procedure

Step 1

Using the Online Curriculum Handbook, you need to choose the subjects you would like to study and complete your subject selection form under the guidance of your teachers, parents and the Pathways Team.
You should also carefully consider:
• Your ambitions and possible future career choices
• Your capabilities and performance in subjects you are currently studying
• Your interest in the content of the subjects you are currently studying
• What you learn in Year 10 Exploring Identities and Futures about your suitability to particular career paths
• The SACE pattern
• Information gathered at the Tenison Woods College Curriculum Information Sessions, Pathways and Careers Expo,
TAFE and University Open Days
• Prerequisites and other requirements of tertiary courses, including those offered at interstate institutions
• Advice from the Career Coordinator, SACE Coordinator, VET Coordinator, Head of School, Pathways Centre teachers and
your subject teachers

Step 2

Once you have chosen the subjects that you think you would like to study and entered them on your subject selection form, you must ask your current subject teachers if they feel you are a suitable candidate for that subject at that level.

Step 3

Students will enter subject selections on the Edval Web Choice form.

Step 4

At the subject counselling interview, you will have the opportunity to discuss the suitability of your subject choices in light of your career ambitions, your capabilities, your achievement in your current subjects, etc. Your parents are encouraged to attend this interview with you.

Step 5

You will later be advised as to whether you are able to study your first choice of subjects at the next year level. Should subject clashes or class numbers prevent this from being possible you will be invited to a further interview where your alternative choices will be discussed.
