In Years 9 and 10, all students study English and Mathematics, as well as Science (including Systems Technology in Year 9), Society and Environment (including History, Geography and introductions to Economics and Politics), Physical and Health Education and Personal and Vocational Education. All Year 9 students also participate in a new, innovative Year 9 program (Katitjin) which runs for one term and takes students out of the classroom into new learning environments.
A wide selection of elective subjects is available, such as French, German, Indonesian, Music, Business Studies, Electronics, Information Technology, Computer Programming, Design Technology (specialising in graphics, metals or wood), Theatre Arts, Art, Media Studies, Human Movement (golf, weights or basketball), Academic Enrichment and, in Year 10, Aviation, Photography and Systems Technology. Students in Years 9 and 10 also enjoy an annual adventure camp.
The Year 11 and 12 program offers a broad range of courses, intended to give students a solid grounding for post-secondary education or the career of their choice. All courses are accredited by the Western Australian Curriculum Council and include secondary school graduation and qualification for admission to University, TAFE or other vocational education.
The flexible timetable design ensures that many different subject combinations are available - a minimum of four tertiary entry subjects are needed for university admission - and most students have the option of one or two non-tertiary entry subjects to provide a more practical aspect to their programs.
Wesley College is the only independent high school in Western Australia to offer the new aviation course of study. For further information on Aviation Studies, download the Aviation Studies ( 1358Kb) flyer.
