How to read a senior-school subject combination

Each senior-school combination includes a track, a code and three subjects. Compare the options and use the code when asking about a particular combination.

Read the guidance

Start with the track. Kalukuni offers Pure Sciences and Applied Sciences under STEM, and Languages and Literature and Humanities and Business Studies under Social Sciences.

Read all three subjects. Compare the actual subjects in the combination and notice which ones you want to study. For instance, the listed Applied Sciences combination ST2071 includes Agriculture, Biology and Geography; Applied Sciences combination ST2085 includes Agriculture, Business Studies and Home Science.

Use the code when you ask. A code such as ST1048 or SS2025 helps keep conversations about a specific combination clear. Confirm the current code, availability and placement rules directly with the school or the Ministry placement information.

Keep your options current. Confirm availability with the school or current Ministry placement information before deciding.
