Subjects

Calrossy offers a range of subjects. For further details of these subjects as taught at Calrossy in 2007 click on each subject. If you require formal descriptions of the syllabus for each of these subjects visit the NSW Department of Education Board of Studies site.

Some subjects in Years 11 and 12 may only be offered if numbers warrant a class. In the event that a subject is not offered in Years 11 and 12 opportunities will be sought for students to enrol with an external provider.

Students in Years 11 and 12 can follow different HSC pathways and complete vocational courses at TAFE or at school when they are offered. Currently some senior students are involved in school-based traineeships linking HSC studies with workplace developed competencies.

Opportunities also exist for students in years 11 and 12 from both William Cowper Boys and Calrossy Girls to study across campuses to increase their subject choice.
