Subject Selections

Planning for your future is a challenging task as senior schooling is a two-year period where you choose a program of study that suits your interests and ambition. The program you select should allow you to move to a destination along the most appropriate pathway.

Many of our programs have been developed around strong partnerships with Central Regional TAFE, training agencies and local business network. We are continually developing programs and pathways that are consistent with the expectations of the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA), enabling students to achieve a Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).

Geraldton Senior High School provides a pathway that leads to obtaining an Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) and/or an Australian Qualifications Framework (AGF) Certificate 2 or higher qualification. Our range of programs and courses offer opportunities for all students to prepare for either university entry, further training or employment.
