Secondary Curriculum
Aimed at expanding students learning experiences while consolidating a solid educational foundation that prepares students for senior secondary studies
-
Years 7 to 10
In Years 7 to 10, the Secondary curriculum is based on both the new Australian Curriculum and Aust VELS (Victoria).
Our curriculum guidelines define what is essential and developmentally appropriate for students to know and be able to do at each level of schooling and sets expected standards.
The standards are central to the teaching and learning process. Assessment against these standards enables teachers, schools and parents to form a clear picture of individual student progress.

Subjects Taught
The new Australian Curriculum has already been implemented with
English Mathematics Science History Geography Humanities Health and Physical Education
Subjects based on the AustVELS curriculum are
Arts (including Drama and Music) and Languages.
As the Australian curriculum phases these subjects in, we will also bring them in line.
With the exception of Advanced Indonesian the language of instruction is English. A strong English as an Additional Language (EAL) program (with in-class support) allows students from other language backgrounds to improve their proficiency in English.
