  • English

In addition, students must actively and regularly participate in Sport and complete four electives over the course of two years. Two 200 hour electives will be completed over two years (years 9 and 10) and One 100 hour in year 9 and another 100 hour in year 10.

At Leichhardt Campus we try to ensure all students have varied and deep opportunities to study electives in year 9 and 10 (Stage 5) that inspire and open pathways for future studies.

Electives offered vary each year. To find out the electives to be offered, download the subject selection booklet

VIBE: 100 Hour Electives

Year 9 and year 10 will have an opportunity to select a VIBE (Various Interest based Electives) to offer engagement and enrichment opportunities for students. These courses will run as one year 100 hours (one to be completed in Year 9 and one to be completed in Year 10) This interest/enrichment elective will not form part of the Record of School Achievement. (ROSA). The VIBE engagement and enrichment electives are designed to engage participants in inquiry-based projects that develop extraordinary creativity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration and reflective thinking skills. At SSC Leichhardt we call these skills the 4Cs + R.
