Curriculum at a Glance

Kelso High Campus, as a part of Denison College has a rich curriculum full of opportunity. In the senior years students can access courses on both campuses and at Bathurst TAFE. 

The Future Pathways document has information about subject selection for Stage 5 (Years 9 and 10).

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is responsible for the curriculum, Kindergarten to Year 12, for all NSW schools.

For the high school years, NESA develops syllabuses for all subjects in 8 key learning areas:

  • creative arts
  • English
  • human society and its environment (HSIE)
  • languages
  • mathematics
  • personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE)
  • science
  • technological and applied studies (TAS).

NSW schools also offer special religious education and special education in ethics via approved providers, where available.

Like all NSW schools, we have developed teaching and learning programs to suit our local context and the needs of our students.
