Subject Selection Process and Course Availability 

While we intend to offer the widest possible range of courses, students and parents/carers should be aware that it may not be possible to run certain courses if too few students select them. The subject selection via google form (first) must be returned by the due date, as indicated on the form. This link will be sent to students and parents/carers through SEQTA. 

​

This form requires students to select nine subjects and place them in order of preference. Depending upon individual student choices, the school will then create 2 lines where students will be given another google form (second) to choose their final electives.Students will be placed into two electives as a result of this process, based on their second google form. This will then form the basis of the timetable. If required, there will be follow up interviews with students (especially if there are clashes and some subjects do not run). This process ensures that NCS can offer curriculum options that reflect student needs.

 

Steps       

Step 1       Submit the first google form. (First Week of June)

                  Purpose: To choose preferences so that the school can put the electives in appropriate lines.

                  THESE MAY NOT BE YOUR FINAL ELECTIVE CHOICES.

 

Step 2       Submit the second google form with two sets of lines. Students must choose one elective in each line. (First Week of July)

                  Current Year 9 students will get first choice before the form is opened to current Year 8 students. It is a first come first 
                  serve basis. There are limited spaces in some of the elective subjects. 

                  THESE MAY NOT BE YOUR FINAL ELECTIVE CHOICES.

 

Step 3       School will send a letter to confirm your actual electives (Term 3)
