It ' s that time of year again when everyone must pick options for next year.
To start with the S1 ' s get to pick one elective for next year for the first time and they will do this elective for one period a week for half the year then will do Spanish for the other half of the year.
Next, the S2 ' s will get to pick all their subjects for next year other than the core subjects of Math ' s, English, one period of RE, PE, and PSE.
The S3 ' s S3 choose all their subjects for next year and will also study core PE, RE and PSE.
The S4 ' s get to pick all their subjects but must take PSE and must take Maths, English and core PE. They will do a National 4 or 5 exams, or equivalent, in all their subjects other than PSE.
The S5 ' s choose all their subjects, including PSE, and can choose to study from National 5 to Advanced Higher level.
For all the S6 ' s and anyone leaving School( who won ' t be here next year) good luck!
As well as National 4 and 5 qualifications, students at Marr College can also choose from a range of other qualifications such as NPA’ s and NC’ s. We have lots more information on these courses on the school website.
