​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Students go through an in-depth process of planning throughout Year 10 in preparation for Years 11 and 12 and beyond, called Senior Education and Training Plan (SET Plan). 

Year 10 Curriculum

Year 10 prepares students for their Senior school courses with a wide variety of options for students. They select from a large range of core and elective subjects within different faculties. The subject guide for the current year provides information on each subject offered.

Finally Year 10 students are given the opportunity to participate in a Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways course which builds real world, global skills, helping students to successfully navigate Senior school challenges and life after school. 

Years 11 and 12 Curriculum

Curriculum for Years 11 and 12 offers a wide variety of specialised subjects to cater for the needs of individual students. There are a range of subjects both in the tertiary pathway and the vocational training pathway. The subject guide for the current year provides information on each subject offered.

You can access the latest Subject Guide in the of the Senior school curriculum page. Additionally, many students in their Senior years study vocational education and training (VET) courses inside or outside of school.
