Handbooks

Our handbooks contain information about courses and pathways available at Kent Street. Students are encouraged to think carefully about their selections and discuss with their teachers, parents, and our career practitioner about their goals and the best way to achieve them.

Students entering Years 7 & 8

In years 7 and 8 students are required to be enrolled in five subjects – Maths, Science, English, HaSS and Health and Physical Education. Students who are enrolled in an Approved Specialist Program will have timetabled classes relating to their specialities and complimentary courses. General students rotate through a selection of arts and technology classes designed to give them a broad understanding of courses and skills which they will then be able to further develop and explore in years 9 and above – leading to their senior studies selections and beyond.

Students entering Years 9 & 10

In years 9 and 10 students are required to be enrolled in five subjects – Maths, Science, English, HaSS and Health and Physical Education. Students are then able to enrol in an elective subject which aligns with their interests or future intentions. Students may continue in their Approved Specialist Program, or apply if there are spaces available, or there are a variety of courses to choose in The Arts, Languages, and Technologies.

Wace Pathways

We created a booklet to help families and students better understand their future pathways in senior school and beyond. This includes clarifying Western Australian Certificate of Secondary Education (WACE) requirements, who is the School Curriculum and Standards Authority(SCSA) and their role, what is “TISC” and how to make the best choices for your senior studies in order to prepare yourself for life beyond Kent Street Senior High School.
