Choosing courses for senior studies
An integral part of the Northern Beaches Secondary College (NBSC) is the sharing of senior curriculum (courses) across the five campuses:
* Students can tailor an individual senior curriculum which suits their particular needs
* Students can access more than 100 HSC courses across five campuses
* College bus provides transport between campuses
* Students can access TAFE, including courses onsite at the Freshwater Senior Campus
These courses are referred to as cross campus courses.
In assisting students to select appropriate course for senior studies, the NBSC produces The Senior Studies Guide. The guide contains:
