Urangan State High School – Core Subjects
At Urangan State High School, our core subjects form the foundation of academic excellence and lifelong learning. Through a focus on English, Mathematics, Science, and Humanities, we equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in an ever-changing world. Each year level builds upon the last, ensuring continuity, challenge, and growth for every learner.
Years 7 and 8 – Establishing Strong Foundations
In Years 7 and 8, students engage in a broad curriculum that strengthens essential skills in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking. English, Mathematics, Science, and Humanities subjects encourage curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. These early secondary years are designed to build confidence and a deep understanding of the core learning areas that support all future studies.
Years 9 and 10 – Deepening Understanding and Application
Students in Years 9 and 10 begin to explore more advanced concepts within each core subject, developing analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Through inquiry-based learning and real-world applications, students make meaningful connections between subjects. This stage also encourages students to reflect on their strengths and interests as they prepare for senior pathways.
Years 11 and 12 – Mastery and Future Pathways
In the senior years, students refine their knowledge and skills in preparation for post-school opportunities. English, Mathematics, and Science are offered across a range of academic and applied subjects, allowing students to pursue university, vocational, or trade pathways. With a strong focus on independence, critical thinking, and real-world relevance, our senior curriculum empowers students to achieve excellence and transition confidently into their chosen futures.
