Options

The process of selecting options is a very important but can also be a slightly stressful time for both our learners and their parents/carers. We at Dunoon Grammar School pride ourselves in the range of subjects and courses we have on offer and also with our close relationship with key partners such as Argyll College and Argyll and Bute Youth Services in delivering aspects of our curriculum. With so much variety available, it is important that both our learners and their parents/carers spend time looking closely at our course descriptors as this will help inform the options process.

To study Higher Chemistry, a pupil will be required to have achieved a course award at National 5 Chemistry.
