The Subject Choices at SIS-Alex<\/u><\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

It is a difficult decision to make. Not only will the courses you decide to take determine the work you do in school but they could also influence your career possibilities.<\/p>\n

At the moment you may not be sure about your future career, or you may change your mind over the next few years. We therefore recommend that you choose a range of subjects that will give you a flexible and balanced course.<\/p>\n

We will guide you to help you make the right options for you. There is an Options Day where you will be able to attend with your parents to ask more questions about option subjects and examination requirements for university. After all, students will have a scheduled individual counseling session. In addition, take the time to talk to the teachers who run the various courses to make sure you are making the right choices. You should ask your teachers whether they think your choices are suitable for you.<\/p>\n

When choosing subjects, think about you, your strengths and what paths you may want to take in your future career; don\u2019t base your choices on what your friends are doing or which teachers you like. Take advice from your parents and from your teachers \u2013 but at the end of the day, the decision must be yours. You are going to have to work hard at your options for the next two years. If you are unsure about any part of this process, please talk to your Advisor and the Assistant Principal.<\/p>\n

Keeping your curriculum broad ensures that you keep as many doors as possible open. It also shows that you are a well-rounded person. Consider taking a subject that you really enjoy even if it isn\u2019t something that you think will be relevant to your career.<\/p>\n
