In year 10 we are focused on providing and promoting opportunities to connect with community, ensure students grow from purposeful task specific feedback, will be confident, willing to take risks, reflect and have a growth mindset to be future ready, identify opportunities, have a higher level of self-efficacy and explore themselves and skills and enjoy learning.
We aim to prepare students for senior school, future careers, and their role in the broader world. We focus on three core concepts: cultivating a culture that celebrates learning and growth, developing student agency to empower informed, beneficial decisions, and fostering deep learning opportunities.
Year 10 Pathways
To help students explore their senior pathway options, they participate in two immersion days to trial both VM and VCE.
VM Day
Students experience Literacy, Numeracy, Enterprise, and Work-Related Skills. TAFE providers also present VET options, a compulsory component of VM, allowing students to gain official qualifications in their chosen field.
VCE Day
Students attend six potential VCE classes of their choice, such as Psychology, Biology, Legal Studies, Maths, and Arts. Each session provides an overview of the Year 11 curriculum and a short activity to introduce the subject.
These immersion days, held close to Program Selection Day, support students in making informed decisions about their senior years.
