Students enjoy the challenge of taking on a more responsible adult role and find the opportunity for individual tutoring in this demanding section of their course very helpful. These two subjects are strongly promoted at our school with multiple classes running in Year 11 and Year 12. Students are taught soundly with a strong emphasis on first principles tuition allowing the student's knowledge and skills to develop as he or she matures. Mainstream excellence is achieved as well essential background for many vocational and educational pursuits. Some parallel study in mathematics is expected, but the highest courses are not essential.
Popular appeal is maintained without compromising educational quality.
In 2000 all students will be working on the outcomes based system. The ATP students are largely drawn from outside our catchment area and win a place to study at Duncraig Senior High School. Students in all classes are encouraged to enter many competitions and Duncraig Senior High School has an excellent record of success in these contests.
