English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Personal Development/Heath/ Physical Education, Technology, Language (French), Visual Arts, Music and Learning Skills.
There are two Academic Selective classes and two Talented Technology classes with other students grouped in mixed ability classes. In forming these classes, student gender and learning and development needs are taken into account to carefully arrange the best mix in each class. The Academic Selective class and the mixed ability classes remain together for all subjects except for Technology and Visual Arts where they are divided into smaller class groups. The Talented Technology classes remain together only for Technology.
