Year 10 Students:
What subjects should I choose?

In Year 10 you will have to make some decisions about what subjects you want to study in Year 11 and 12. It is important to think about these choices now, as your entrance into university or TAFE may be affected if you have not completed the correct prerequisite subjects.

What are prerequisite subjects and why do we have them?

Prerequisites are subjects that must be completed to be considered for entry into a particular tertiary course. Courses have prerequisite subjects because some study areas need a specific level of knowledge or ability before you start. This way everyone starts at the same level.
