The core program continues throughout the year. Information & Communication Technologies is about using technology to access and communicate information. ICTs will be part of all learnings across the curriculum.

Subjects other than Core are studied in Year 8 for Semesters 1 and 2. These are offered subject to staff and resource availability, and timetable constraints. 

Subjects other than Core are organised in term units. Students will undertake study from one subject from the Technology KLA and one subject from the Arts KLA during a semester (two terms).

LAN, or Literacy and Numeracy, are lessons where students receive more targeted support of their Literacy and Numeracy needs.

Throughout the year the Year 8 students will study LOTE and have lessons in Physical Activity.
