A variety of learning opportunities are offered in the Senior Phase of learning. The curriculum offerings are designed to align to the school’s vision of ‘performers for every stage expressing talents in every field’.

The Senior Subject Guide supports students and parents/carers in Years 11 and 12 subject selection. It includes a comprehensive list of all curriculum offerings.

The SET Planning process in Year 10 (Term 3), assists students to set clear and realistic personal goals for Senior. This process engages the student, parent and a school representative in a thoughtful discussion and planning process for senior studies. If students are realistic, select study options that reflect their strength, study their prerequisites for future courses, they are setting themselves up for success.

Monitoring of Senior Students’ commitment to work is an integral role of the Senior Secondary team. Interviews are held regularly with students and parents for support, intervention and encouragement.

When students re-enrol into the post compulsory phase of learning (year 11 and 12), the expectation is that students have a high attendance rate ioand complete all their assessment items promptly.

Year 10

Year 10s undertake their SET (Senior Education and Training) Plans and a Careers Expo, aimed at developing a curiosity for learning, especially in the areas that particularly interest them and those that they mightn't have realised existed yet.

Parent Information Evenings are held to pass on information about the Senior Phase of Learning and our two senior pathways – Red (ATAR) and Blue (non-ATAR). We encourage all parents to attend these nights.

Year 10 students are also able to start accessing Vocational Educational pathways through work experience or SATS (School-based Apprenticeships or Traineeships). For more information, please see the Industry Liaison Officer.
