Dear Year 10 Students, Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Year 11. This page is designed to give you insight into the subjects that we offer in Year 11 and 12 at Snowy Mountains Grammar School.

Choosing subjects at this stage can be a daunting task, because many of you won’t be sure where your future career path may take you and therefore what subjects are right for you to choose. It may comfort you to know that Australian workers now change careers on average five to seven times. So, the career you see for yourself may be superseded by another one that you hadn’t originally considered.

I recommend that you take a suite of subjects with variability, including subjects that you need for your potential tertiary studies, and subjects that you enjoy. Don’t select subjects based on the teacher, or on the advice of just one person. Take advice from past and current students, your family, your teachers, and beyond. Often, you will unexpectedly enjoy subjects you didn’t think you would and, conversely, struggle with motivation in subjects that you really wanted to do. 

Year 11 and 12 is a journey. There will be challenges along the way, but the final goal is for you to achieve your very best. The staff at Snowy Mountains Grammar School will be with you through this journey.

I wish you all the best as you begin your senior years of study.

Dr Darryl Nelson
