I was in Tassie, back in the 90s. I did go to a Private school though so not sure if that had anything to do with it. Compared to mainland it was cheap lol Grade 7 and 8 we did basic introductions to Geography, History, etc and in Grade 9 onwards we kind of got a choice of what we wanted to do in terms of learning more about those topics. Geography or Forgot what it was as that wasn't interesting in grade 9 lol. In Grade 7 we also did Japanese and French (half year each), then Grade 8 got to pick which one we wanted to continue. Grade 9 in fact most subjects becoming an option subjects. Some of these included woodwork, metalwork, music, cooking, art, drama, accounting and a higher level of maths. The core STEM classes were still a requirement though for all years. |
It'd be interesting to know how much as changed since then. Could be to do with being a private school, I know public schools are different to private schools. My high school had no language options, but we learn about chevon for 2 years.
Must be nice having so many options |
Not sure tbh, but I know in Tassie most people avoided public schools because they were not great and back then private school wasn't expensive. Mine was only $3000 a year lol.
On the mainland, people seem to rave about public school being great, but no one can tell me why lol. The one thing they say is my kids don't need to learn religion, but TBH i didn't mind the religion classes, it actually helped open up the mind more about how religion has controlled people's lives.
