The Senior School at Smithfield State High School incorporates Years 10,11 & 12.
Year 10
Year 10 operates as a transition year from the junior to senior phase of Secondary education, with many subjects forming an introduction to courses available in Years 11 & 12. Students are encouraged to continue studies in areas where they have achieved success in Year 9 or to align their elective selections with their career aspirations.
The Learning Program
- Seven subjects per semester.
- English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Health & Physical Education remain compulsory.
- The remaining 2 subjects are electives. There are 16 subjects offered across The Art, Humanities & Health & Physical Education.
Please refer to the Year 10 Handbook in the enrolments section for more information.
In Year 10 students are required to develop their Senior Education & Training (SET) Plan which details their specific goals for Year 11/12 and beyond. For course details please refer to the relevant Senior Course Guide in the enrolments section.
