Subject Selection

Choosing the right subjects is one of the most important decisions you will make during your time at MacKillop College. Your subject choices lay the foundation for your future learning, career pathways, and personal growth. Thoughtful and informed decisions can open doors to a wide range of opportunities, while hasty or uninformed selections may limit your options later on. That’s why it’s essential to consider your interests, strengths, and long-term goals, as well as any prerequisites for further study or training.

To support you in this process, our subject selection information is organised by year level, providing tailored guidance for each stage of your journey. Whether you are exploring electives for the first time or making critical choices for your senior years, you’ll find resources and advice to help you make confident decisions. If you or your family need further information or personalised support, please don’t hesitate to contact the Careers office, your homeroom teacher, or your Year Level Leader.
