Year 10 Pathways:
Pathways classes begin with reflection on work experience, collation of feedback and learnings from this. With a focus on pathways into subject selections, students take an in-depth look at their future focus and what pathway would best suit them. Once subject selections are complete students follow up with preparation for VCE / VCAL via study sessions, organisation of work placements, application forms and pre-requisite courses.
Staff use many opportunities to expose students to the various pathways members of the community have taken to arrive at their current professions.
