Plan a program built around your goals.
Choose subjects with your personal pathway, career goals and learning needs in mind.
Choosing your subjects
Be guided by your personal and career goals as well as your learning needs.
When considering subject choices, where possible use your pathway plan, which may involve one or more of the following:
Subject Options
- University: Consider possible faculty or faculties and prerequisite subjects.
- Vocational (VET area): Consider possible areas and prerequisite subjects.
- TasTAFE: Consider possible areas and prerequisite subjects.
- Apprenticeship: Consider possible areas and prerequisite subjects.
- Work: Consider possible areas and prerequisite subjects.
Study loads
For Years 11 and 12, the minimum full-time study load at Hellyer is 600 hours. This will be composed mainly of TASC subjects or a certificate program. TASC subjects are 150 hours in length and take up one line on the timetable. Most, but not all, certificate programs are 300 hours and run over two lines. Your Course Counsellor will discuss this with you. All students will also be enrolled in Career and Life Planning for 50 hours.
Part-time study is only possible where there are compelling personal circumstances. It requires an application to the Department for Education which must be endorsed by the Principal and relevant Support Staff.
Note for parents and carers
As the transition to Years 11 and 12 can be challenging for some students, parents and guardians can help in this process. We welcome your involvement in course selection and in the enrolment of your son or daughter.
We encourage you to be actively involved in your child's education during their two years at Hellyer College. If you need more information or would like to talk over options with one of our Assistant Principals, contact the college on (03) 6435 5200.
