Years 7 & 8

Education must equip students to live in a diverse and ever changing technology-based world. Students must know how to problem solve, work independently and collaboratively with others, be a contributing member of the community and to be resilient in the face of adversity.

Subjects offered in Years 7 and 8 at St Patrick's College allow students to experience a diverse range of areas before they are asked to make more specific choices in Year 9 and then again in Year 11.

All students will undertake the same core course of study in Years 7 and 8, with the exception of languages, which are selected at the completion of Year 7 for Year 8. All subjects will be studied for the whole year, with the exception of languages whereby Japanese will be studied for one semester and French for one semester and Arts and Technology, which will also be studied for one semester each.
