Choosing A Course Of Study

The purpose of this booklet is to help you make the best subject choices to meet your particular needs. You need to study the options available very closely and fully discuss these with your parents and teachers and the school’s guidance staff if necessary.

Help is available from… •  your Parents •  the Transition-Careers Staff •  your Subject Teachers •  your Form Teacher •  your Dean •  the Guidance Counsellor

NB: Not all courses listed in this book may run — many are dependent on numbers. However, students may be able to access a particular pathway via the CTC option (see p.22)
