Our Learning Areas
The curriculum is divided into nine major Learning Areas. Students in Years 7 to 10 are required to undertake studies in eight of these and can make choices to enable them to pursue their special strengths, talents and interests.
English
The study of English is central to the learning and development of all young Australians. It helps create confident communicators, imaginative thinkers, and informed citizens. It is through the study of English that individuals learn to analyse, understand, communicate with and build relationships with others and with the world around them.
Health and Physical Education
Our health programs build knowledge and awareness of a range of Health topics including physical and mental wellbeing, resilience and respectful relationships, anti-bullying and nutrition. All programs have an emphasis on harm-minimisation strategies and recognising those who need help and how to support them.

Languages
According to research, the best time to start speaking a second language is early in life and at Safety Bay Senior High School we provide this opportunity for students in Years 7 and 8. In these years, it is compulsory for students to study either German or Indonesian.
Mathematics
Mathematics encourages logical reasoning, critical thinking, creative thinking, abstract or spatial thinking, problem-solving ability, and even effective communication skills. In an ever-growing world of misinformation, such analytical thinking enables individuals to investigate and draw their conclusion to improve their lives.
Science
The Science Learning Area at Safety Bay Senior High School has an experienced and motivated team of teachers who provide quality teaching and learning. We build partnerships with parents and our local community.
Technologies
Technologies motivates young people and engages them in a range of learning experiences that are transferable to family and home, constructive leisure activities, community contribution and the world of work. It provides students with authentic learning challenges that foster curiosity, confidence, persistence, innovation, creativity, respect and cooperation.
The Arts
The Arts evokes emotions; It makes you think and feel. At Safety Bay Senior High School, we aim to engage and inspire young people with meaningful and purposeful experiences through both the Performing and Visual Arts.
Library
The school library is an important hub for students. Its goal is to support all teaching and learning programs and to ensure the information needs of students are met.
Extracurricular
Safety Bay Senior High School is a vibrant place with much to do outside of regular classes.
