Year 7 Curriculum Overview
As well as studying the five core subjects for a significant part of the week, students will experience a range of other secondary school subjects for shorter periods of time.
Curriculum Overview
Year 7
In addition to the core subjects, Year 7 students are introduced to a broad range of other subjects that may be new to them. This provides students with the opportunity to explore diverse areas of learning and establish a foundation for further study in these subjects when elective options become available from Year 8 onward.
The following outlines the subjects and the number of periods each is studied per week for the year.
- Religious Education (3)
- English (4)
- Mathematics (4)
- Humanities (4)
- Science (4)
- Physical Education (2)
- Health (1)
- Art (1)
- Dance (1 period per week for 1 semester)
- Digital Technology (1)

Students should be aware that, as they progress throughout their secondary schooling, opportunities arise for students to choose the subjects and courses studied, especially in Year 11 and 12. It should be noted that when these choices become available students must meet the required prerequisites in order to choose the subject. It is therefore essential that students always do their best and in Year 7 begin to develop an efficient consistent work ethic.
For more information on specific courses, parents are welcome to contact the relevant Head of Learning Area or Subject Coordinator.
