ELO Futures Programs and Year 9 Electives
These Enhanced Learning Opportunity (ELO) and elective programs are all designed for independently motivated and dedicated students. Their purpose is to offer students the opportunity to work on individual projects or develop skills in sport and languages further.
Students selecting these ELOs will be asked to participate in an application process that may involve tryouts and interviews. Parents are encouraged to discuss these ELO options with the appropriate Head of Academy.
Students may also be invited (through teacher nomination to the Head Of Department) to join one of these ELOs due to a particular strength they may have demonstrated in their studies. Invitations need not be accepted by the student.
Futures Programs include:
Students participate in a negotiated curriculum focussing on an individual area of interest. The developed programs can be from a range of areas and will be supported by school and industry mentors where possible.
Students who select this option are highly independent, responsible, resourceful and focussed. High levels of behaviour will be expected at all times in both this ELO and regular classes.
Special Considerations: An interview process may be conducted with the applicant and their parents. References from past/current teachers may be required along with academic reports.
