Courses of Study in Year 9 & 10

At Mary MacKillop Catholic College, the Year 9 and Year 10 learning program is designed to enrich the learning experiences of students by offering a combination of Core and Elective Subjects. Core Subjects are areas of learning central to the curriculum.

Complementing Core Subjects, each year, students choose four

(4) Elective Subjects. Students will complete two different electives per semester. Elective Subjects are designed to broaden students' learning and develop and extend their skills, interests and abilities.

Elective Subjects offer students the opportunity to experience learning in areas they might find interesting, enjoy, and wish to explore. Elective Subjects also expose students to learning in areas in which they have no experience, thus extending their knowledge and developing their skills and competencies. In some instances, Elective Subjects provide a link with more specialised studies in Years 11 and 12.
