Year 10
At Year 10 the focus pivots more towards exploring individual academic pursuits, yet still enables students to consolidate their learning prior to VCE. The increasing complexity of content and growing maturity of students is reflected in the curricula. Options extend to the study of VCE subjects.
Increasing independence of thought, scholastic self-assuredness, vocational awareness and planning are the hallmarks of learning at this level.
