Special Programs

Academic Extension Program

The needs of academically talented students are specifically catered for through the Academic Extension Program, which operates in English, Mathematics, Science and Society & Environment in Years 8 to 10, and Japanese and French in Years 9 and 10.

The Academic Extension Program provides special discrete classes for students who have been selected on the basis of their performance in these subjects. Courses studied are, in many cases, the same as those provided for the most academically able students in mainstream classes, but the Academic Extension students are often required to complete extra courses of study and are offered a variety of learning experiences designed both to develop their skills and competencies while providing challenging and motivating learning experiences.

Within the four Learning Areas that operate Academic Extension classes, there is some variation in the way that students are initially selected. The results of the Applecross Senior High School Academic Extension Tests, together with information from Year 7 teachers is used when organising Year 8 students into appropriate pathways for the beginning of the school year.
