Years 7 - 12
Students in Years 7-10 enjoy a comprehensive and wide range
of elective subjects in addition to the core learning areas, which
can be continued in the senior years.
In addition to the core, traditional subjects, students in years 9
and 10 are also able to select from a range of courses including
sport, lifestyle and recreation, marine studies, photography-
film and video, food technology and languages.
A successful school-to-work
program is run for students not wishing to continue in senior
study.
In Years 11/12, students can follow a traditional academic
path, i.e. English, mathematics, science and the humanities or
focus on vocational subjects such as business services, hospitality,
building construction, entertainment industry or information
technology.
Southern Cross School K-12 students have performed very well
at HSC level (top 10% of the State in a large range of subjects),
with many furthering their education at NSW and Queensland
universities. For students committed to seeking employment an
alternate, non-HSC program is also available.
Subjects are offered which also gain advanced standing at
TAFE. Students are also able to take part in a traineeship
program in conjunction with HSC studies at school.
