The Industrial Course is a preparatory course for the skilled trades and
leads to University Matriculation in all Faculties except Law and Commerce.
The Commercial Course is designed principally for those wishing to enter
business life after the Junior, but it also leads to Teaching, the Public Service,
and Banking.
The Home Science Course is intended to fit girls for future management
of the home, and leads to Home Science Teaching, Nursing, Dressmaking, and
higher class Cooking.
The Special Course is a two year modified course, available only to girls
and boys paying tuition fees (i.e. non-Scholarship holders). It does not lead to
the Junior Examination, but is designed to give the non-academically minded
girl and boy a broader education, as well as the opportunity to acquire certain
skills. These students have the benefit of Secondary School life without the
strain and worry of a Public Examination.
This course is of use of most apprenticeships for boys, and will assist
girls wishing to enter Nursing or some office positions.
