Expansive student choice

Alice Miller School operates largely through an elective-based, multi-age curriculum model. In Year 7 and 8, the compulsory subjects are English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Music, and PE. In addition to these subjects, Year 7 and 8 students may choose three subjects that they will study for a semester before changing mid-year. Subjects on offer include Art, Drama, Dance, Music, Band, Woodwork, Sound Recording and Design, Theatre Arts, Outdoor and Environmental Studies, History, PE, Motion Media, Kitchen Garden, and a range of language-based electives: Literature, Cartoons, Comics and Graphic Novels, Global Perspectives Debating, French, and Script Warriors.

In Years 9 and 10, the only mandatory subjects are English and Maths. All others are electives, involving choices from VCE and other subjects which include French, Art, Drama, Theatre Studies, Textiles, Music, PE, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Outdoor Education, Sustainability, Legal Studies, Psychology, Motion Media, Sound Recording and Design, History, Humanities, Cartoons, Comics and Graphic Novels, Literature Analysis, Myths, Monsters and Metaphysics, Woodwork, and International Relations.

We encourage keen and able students in Year 10 to tackle at least one VCE subject during this time.
