Handbooks And Personal Items lists

Handbooks are an insight into the programs offered each year to a cohort

Depending on student numbers, interest, and staffing availability these may change year to year.

Years 7 & 8

The lower secondary school curriculum at Byford Secondary College follows the Western Australian Curriculum and provides students with a range of subjects that fit their needs and/or interests and in which they may ultimately specialise in Senior School. Students are enrolled in the standard class set: Maths, Language, Science, English, Humanities and Physical Education/Health. Students move through rotational Arts programs like dance, and visual arts.

The College makes every effort to protect students from inappropriate websites, and we recommend that safe internet practices are followed outside of the College as well. Running services such as VPNs to evade restrictions will result in the device being banned from our network.
