Our curriculum, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, takes students on a journey from transition into Year 7 to their futures beyond secondary education.
Year 7 and 8
Complemented by our Student Wellbeing program that acts as a catalyst for academic achievement and ultimately life satisfaction and success, students are introduced to a breadth of disciplines in Year 7 and encouraged to take responsibility for their learning at each stage.
In Years 7 and 8, all students undertake a variety of core subjects and are offered a broad range of sequential learning experiences. Year 7 students choose two of the following languages to study – French, Italian and Japanese. In Year 8, students choose one of these languages to continue studying.

Year 9
In Year 9, there is an emphasis on achieving a balance between students learning subject content and developing the necessary attributes to become true lifelong learners.
To develop their personal learning skills students are encouraged to think about how they learn best, to set personal learning goals and to build a range of strategies for completing assignments and for evaluating their own work.
In Year 9, we ensure students both receive a broad education and begin to look towards their senior secondary program of study.

BRIDGES Program
The BRIDGES program, undertaken in Year 9 aims to develop in students an understanding of our ever-changing world. The four term based units are designed to encourage students to consider the challenges in our society and how they might contribute to positive change in their community. Through authentic learning experiences students are supported to engage in deep learning and develop a personal commitment to justice in accordance with the vision and mission of the College.
Year 10
Year 10 builds upon the independence and strengths developed throughout Year 9. Students continue to engage in a broad education and begin to plan their secondary program of study.
Options include choosing an accelerated VCE subject as an elective or a VCE/VET Certificate subject.
