What sort of person are you?
To help you decide what to study in classes 10,11 and 12, it's a good idea to
start asking yourself what sort of person you are:
• think about what you're like at home, as well as in school - what skills have
you developed outside school?
• ask yourself what types of things you enjoy doing the most - for example,
working things out and thinking them through, practical activities or artistic
options like painting, drawing or performing music?
• think about what you are most interested in: it could be languages, writing
projects, helping people, being outdoors or designing things?
Choosing the subjects you need
If you know what career you want, choosing the right subjects can be critical.
For example, if you are considering following an engineering & technology
pathway you will need to select the Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics Core subjects.
Choosing the subjects you like and are good at
Nearly everyone performs better when they are doing something they enjoy and are
good at. You should take this into account, but always keep in mind your
preferred course or career when you leave school.
Interests and aptitude
You may already know what you hope to do after your XII. Although it may be too
early to make final career decisions, you may have an idea of the broad area,
which interests you, for example, clerical, active, social, practical,
scientific or artistic for example. Some subjects will be more relevant to each
area.
