Core Curriculum
Our curriculum is carefully designed to suit students' developmental and academic needs whilst providing significant choice for students as they move through the college.
Students are supported by teachers and our Pathways Counsellors when selecting their electives. Families are encouraged to attend our annual Curriculum & Pathways Information Evening in Term 3.
Years 7–8:
- Students follow a broad program based on the Victorian Curriculum F–10.
- They study a wide range of subjects, building strong skills in English (literacy) and Maths (numeracy), while exploring areas like Science, Arts, Technology, Humanities, Languages, and PE.
- They also develop key skills such as critical thinking, ethical understanding, cultural awareness, and personal/social skills across all subjects.
Years 9–10:
- Students continue core subjects but can choose electives, giving them more agency over their learning.
- The significant range of Electives available in all learning areas allows students to explore interests and strengths and prepare for senior studies.
VCE/VM (Senior Years):
- Students can select from many VCE pathways options and subject choices enabling them to specialize in subjects they enjoy from different learning areas.
- Programs include teacher support and flexible pathways to help students reach their goals.
- Focus is on both academic achievement and real-world skills to prepare for life after school.
Curriculum Handbook
A wide range of subjects are on offer so that every student can discover their interests and passions.
English
Our aim is to produce literate and articulate students who can express themselves equally as well in the spoken and written forms of our language.
Mathematics
Essential skills in numeracy to advanced mathematical skills are taught across our broad ranging Maths program.
Humanities
To become engaged citizens it is important that students have fundamental understandings about how we organise and govern our societies, how we interact with our environments and how these have changed over time.
Science
Our Science courses aim to tap into student curiosity about their world. As a result there is a strong emphasis on practical classes in addition to learning how to communicate scientific information.
Health & Physical Education
Understanding the importance of physical activity and being able to develop skills that will assist in maintaining physical fitness are essential to a healthy and happy life.
Languages
Studying another language improves students’ ability to communicate in their own language, as well as the new language. It also has the added advantage of exposing students to new societies and cultures, improving creative and lateral thinking and developing understanding of self.
Art and Technology
An appreciation of Art and Design developed through application and skill is essential for a rich and meaningful life and can lead to a range of unique, productive careers.
Performing Arts
Students develop confidence through developing their skills in performing arts and learn to appreciate new forms of human expression in these art forms.
