SUBJECT CHOICES
1. As subject choice is a decision, which affects a learner’s entire future, the learner is thoroughly prepared for this choice during his Gr. 9 year.
The school has bought a software package to help learners with their subject choices. The “Career Manager” is a user-friendly computer program, which was written in such a way as to enable the learner to select a suitable career for future success. The program not only introduces an interest profile but it also predicts the learner’s ability to master a certain subject field. The program is linked to a database that ensures that learners are made aware of the demands of a chosen career.
In order to ensure that learners will make the right decision, this program is compulsory.
Learners register only once and can use the program repeatedly until Gr. 12.
2. Choice of subject is also vitally important as it affects tertiary education such as universities and technicons.
