Other Common Questions• Can you change subjects? Yes, but only at set times and only if there is room to move. The fact that students are now only studying subjects for 12 months means less change is encouraged.• Can I study other subjects not offered at Cairns High? No, we offer a greater range of subjects than most schools that all link in with our senior subjects.• Do I have to do Maths, Science, English, History/Geography/Civics and HPE? Yes they are mandatory under Australian Curriculum.
