Year 11 Course Selection

In Stage 6 (Years 11-12) students select courses based on what career or tertiary education they wish to achieve. Year 11 students can study between 12 and 13 units. These are selected the year before from a pool of offered courses. As the selection process is based on course popularity, not all courses offered will run.

Information about tertiary education, ATARs, courses offered and more can be found in our Stage 6 Curriculum Handbook for Year 11 2025.
