For example; Biology, Construction Studies, Accounting, Physics. There are various timetabling options for subject sampling, including block rotation or optional choice.

• Once-off or Calendar: these are events or activities that take place on specific dates or times during the TY year, such as work experience, tours or trips, musicals etc.
