Year 10

In Year 10 students gain greater choice in subject offerings and begin studying subjects that gain South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) credit. This is an important stage of education where students begin to explore the world beyond school and potential post school pathways.

Year 10 students will complete Exploring Identities and Futures and Workplace Practices which are the first SACE subjects students complete. These two subjects will introduce students to the SACE capabilities, allow an opportunity to explore their passions and hobbies, and start to think about what life beyond school looks like for them.

Year 10 students can participate in industry immersion days and some selected Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses including Certificate 1 in Hospitality and Gateways 2 Trades.

Subjects are as follows:

Year 11 and 12

Year 11 and 12 students begin to focus on their post school pathways by choosing subjects required for their personal pathway, making connections with the wider community, and developing their sense of identity as an individual.

Year 11

Year 11 students will complete subjects to achieve a total of 120 Credits comprising 40 compulsory credits (2 semester of English, 1 semester of Maths and Activating Identities and Futures which is also a semester in duration) and 80 elective credits. Please refer to the curriculum guide for course and pathway information.

Year 12

Year 12 students will undertake 4 x full year subjects to earn 80 credits and there are no compulsory subjects at this level.

Subjects are as follows:

To enable the breadth of subjects we have established partnerships with Open Access College where students are taught in an online environment and supported at Springbank Secondary College during study lessons. These subjects are most likely to include Specialist Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, English Literary Studies, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Psychology.

A full list of subjects can be found on the Open Access College Curriculum Page on their website. Please note, like all schools, subjects are timetabled dependent on students who choose them which means although subjects are listed in the curriculum guide there is no guarantee that they will be offered in the following year.
