cjbchris Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Hi im just doing my junior cert in Ireland and we are moving to Oz . I would like to know what subjects are necessary to do these subjects in high school and through college. I would love to make one of these my career in the future as I love photography and im good with computers :ssign4: . I hope someone can help me out as I have to make my choices by next Tuesday. Im not sure what year i will be going into in school in Oz but I think its year 11 Could you please post links to sites or reply with the subjects I need thank you . Thomas Also could you please recommend good schools to pursue these necessary subjects in Perth . Thanks Thomas Edited February 25, 2013 by cjbchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Welcome to PP. You'll be entering a very different education system if you arrive here for year 11 and the options you're chosing in the UK may not be available to you here (or at the school you choose). I would suggest you choose the subjects that would get you into that career/study pathway in the UK in case you don't move over. GCSE's count for little in Aus, although A levels will get you uni entry. I imagine that TAFE will offer similar courses, but also Uni's may offer them too. Can I suggest you go a google search for those subjects and put Perth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scot01 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 If you look at this link here - from page 44 it lists all the Level three subjects you can in Yr 11/12 and the schools that performed the best in them. You could do Applied Information Technology, Art and design, Media and production (involves photography and film making) and may be PE studies if you want to get into sports. You'd have to do English as it is needed for entry into any University course. Not all schools offer all subjects and there may be some restrictions - some schools may insist you take maths. As Ali says - also choose subjects that you are good at and like. Year 11 you need a minimum of 5 subjects, they might make you do 6. http://www.curriculum.wa.edu.au/internet/Publications/Reports/Statistical_Reports/School_Comparison_Statistics/School_comparison_Statistics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
