2020 Year 9 Course Option Selection Form

    In selecting your options and course of study, you need to consider and balance: your interests and passions, your strengths and what you’re good at, your potential future and pathway, and keeping your options open.

    Try and ‘begin with the end in mind’ and work backwards, eg if you think you are likely to do a certain subject in the senior school then it is a good idea to do more than just the minimum of that subject in the junior school.

    To select your Year 9 Courses for 2020 please follow the steps below:
    1. Read the 2020 Course Option Booklet:
      a. Open it from the WHS website
      b. Read through the following sections:
      1. “WHS Curriculum, Timetable & Course Selection”
      2. “Selecting the Correct Course of Study” & “Careers Advice”
      3. Read through the Learning Areas to get a sense of the range of opportunities, including understanding the options and which class each course code represents 
    2. To complete your Year 9 Course Option Selection form:
      a. Enter the option code below (eg 5ENW) for each of the 12 options you wish to select for Year 9
      (NB compulsory options are already entered)
      b. Ensure you have a minimum of 1 option from each Learning Area. Each option should only be selected once.
