Enhanced Learning Opportunities (ELO) Program

All students in Years 7 , 8 and 9 participate in our ELO program three afternoons each week. 

Year 7 and 8 students choose one ELO per term, from a wide variety of activities that are designed to meet specific and assessable learning outcomes.  Year 9 students choose one ELO per semester, allowing for more detailed study of specific areas of interest. ELO's allow for: -

 

a broad development of skills and understandings over three years 

a development of each student's specific interests, within the nominated Senior School Academies

learning in an integrated, purposeful, meaningful and fun way                

the utilization of specific staff skills.                                                                

Following are the ELO's that are being offered in 2006.   ELO's have been grouped in the five academies used in the Senior School. Please refer to the ELO Booklet available from school for further explanation of the courses.
