Secondary Curriculum

Secondary Curriculum & Enrolment

Our Secondary curriculum is designed to cater for a great diversity of interests and needs. As students’ progress through Years 7 to 12, a range of subject selections are offered to each young adult. This enables students to develop patterns of study that are highly appropriate to their career ambitions and future needs. Our Secondary Curriculum is divided into three stages:

Years 7-8
Years 9-10
Years 11-12

In Year 7 all subjects are compulsory. This exposure to a broad and comprehensive curriculum is designed to assist students in making more informed and accurate subject selections. A heightened range of subject choices are made available in Year 9 and successively in Year 11.

In Years 9 and 10 student courses are designed around a core of English, Mathematics, Science, History, Personal Development, Health & Physical Education (PD/H/PE) and Islamic Studies. In addition, students are required to select two elective subjects from the range offered in the Key Learning Areas (KLA):

Food Technology
Commerce
Visual Arts
Arabic

In Years 11 & 12, English is the only compulsory subject. Additional subjects are chosen from the remaining seven KLAs. The pattern of these additional subjects must follow NESA regulations.

All subjects taught at Rissalah College are under constant review. In the case of elective subjects their inclusion depends on demand, although every effort is made to provide students with their chosen range of electives.
