RESPECT - RESPONSIBILITY - RESILIENCE CURRICULUM GUIDE www.ejehs.sa.edu.au MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL The Edward John Eyre High School Curriculum Guide has been designed to provide an overview of the wide range of curriculum offerings available to our students, in support of the Pathways Counselling process. This information will be useful in planning for individual goals and aspirations to transition into a future beyond school. Information has also been provided around the flexibility and personalised nature of programs in studying for the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), including: • Australian Tertiary Admissions Ranking pathways • School Based Apprenticeships • Vocational Education and Training (VET) • Specialist programs. Our school prides itself on providing a breadth of curriculum offerings for our students. This enables students flexibility in their subject choices and the opportunity to identify a subject package that suits their individual needs. When choosing subjects/courses, students should think about subjects that: align with future/career aspirations, they enjoy studying, enable them to work to their strengths, will challenge them and provide a number of broader options. This guide is useful for students, Parents/Caregivers and pathways counselling staff to discuss study and career planning. Learning Areas have provided a range of subject-related details, to gain insight for discussions and provide you an opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the learning focus and assessment of these. For further information around options to talk to one of our Student Pathways counsellors, I encourage you to contact our Career Hub on (08) 8645 7677.
