– Grade 10-12 Subjects (Further Education and Training phase) –

In the third term all Grade 9 pupils – in consultation with their parents and the School – must select a course of study comprising 7 subjects.

Subject choices made in Grade 9 should be about choosing subjects according to academic strengths and interests while keeping options open for sound and informed tertiary study. Subjects should be chosen to ensure a good all-round education, for growth, development and a future of ongoing learning. Subject choices should not be solely about future careers, although the process is obviously connected to later study and career choice.

• English Home Language
• A First Additional Language (this could be either Afrikaans or isiZulu)

• Accounting
• Dramatic Arts (formerly Drama)
