Six new QCE subjects on the cards!
vox nihili:
With OPs being phased out for ATARs, QCAA has decided to introduce five new subjects this year, with the potential addition of a sixth next year.
The new subjects are:
-Design
-Engineering
-Food and Nutrition
-Literature
-Psychology
The other potential subject for 2020 is:
-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural studies
What are your thoughts? A lot of these subjects already exist interstate; psychology in particular is super popular around the country.
Lear:
I’m really surprised to learn that they weren’t available before. Pretty much all of those subjects are excellent. I’m intrigued about Engineering though. Seems like quite a broad subject.

If you're interested here's the HSC version.
I'll link this as well but I wouldn't have a clue if it were up to date

I agree with Lear. I don't go to a particularly big school in QLD (very small, actually), but for our year 11 subject choices this year they've added Design, in replacement of ITS. I don't know why QCAA wouldn't have Engineering and Psychology before the switch to ATAR. ??? Both would be very interesting to me!
Here's a link I found for a complete list of subjects in the new syllabus https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/senior/senior-subjects

The lack of languages in this list is really surprising. In Victoria and NSW there is an almost obscene number of languages you can study, often with only a handful of students studying the subject.
What subjects are popular in QLD though? Beyond your maths, English and sciences?
