MILLAIS SCHOOL Options Choices You select subjects that you enjoy and are good at. You consider what will fit in with your future career ideas.

MILLAIS SCHOOL Do I need a printed copy of the Options Booklet? NO. The booklet is on the moodle under examinations. You can look through it there. The LRC computers are excellent for this.
