Rothwell Campus
The curriculum journey at Grace is a carefully designed framework that allows students to steadily develop their personalised pathways at the College from Year 7 through to Year 12.
The Curriculum Journey can be seen in the image above and is explained in the Curriculum Guide for your child’s year level.
At the Rothwell Campus we are proud to offer a wide range of subjects to our students. The College appreciates that Grace allows choice for students in the sense that there is scope to elect subjects based on their individual gifts and talents. This allows students to engage in deep and purposeful learning in order to enable these individual gifts and talents to shine brightly making positive contributions into the world.
As students transition through Year 7 into Senior School, a student’s subject preferences will become more evident.
It is suggested that subjects be chosen based on the following:
Year 8
Subject selection in Year 8 encourages students to maintain a breadth of learning with students selecting their 4 electives (2 x electives per semester).
Year 9
Subject selection in Year 9 encourages students to maintain a breadth of learning with students selecting their 3 electives for the whole year.
For choosing subjects in Year 10 and Year 11, students should study subjects which meet the following criteria:
Students need to decide about a combination of subjects that suits them.
It is important to remember that all students are individuals, and that their needs and requirements in subject selection will be quite different from those of other students. This means that it is unwise to either take or avoid a subject because:
Students need to be honest about their abilities and realistic with their career goals. There is little to be gained by continuing with or taking advanced levels of subjects that have proved difficult, even after students have put in their best efforts. Similarly, if career goals require the study of certain subjects, students must consider if they have the ability and determination to work hard enough to achieve the necessary level of results in those subjects.
