At Year 10 students develop more ownership over their subject choices, participating in a personalised combination of core and elective subjects aligned to the Victorian Curriculum F-10. Each subject entails four hours of class time per week.
As in other years, they also participate in the College Connect program which supports holistic learning such as wellbeing, school pride and connectedness, as well as study skills and pathways support.
In order to fulfil the requirements of the Victorian Curriculum and the Department of Education, all Year 10 students complete the following core subjects:
English (English, English as an Additional Language, Foundation English or English-Advanced) Maths (General Maths, Foundation Maths, Vocational Maths or Methods Specialist Pathway Maths) Humanities – one semester
They also elect seven, semester-long elective subjects based upon their interests and possible future pathways, in alignment with the Victorian requirements across all of the learning areas. This includes at least one elective from Science, Health & Physical Education, Visual & Performing Arts and Technologies areas.
Exploring Vocational Pathways Program
Some students who are keen to focus on getting work ready in Year 10 and are looking to undertake an apprenticeship or traineeship in the near future can apply for the Year 10 Exploring Vocational Pathways program. Students will complete a modified program of core and elective academic subjects that allows them to actively explore the world of work and vocational training.
