Year 10 Curriculum

Year 10

The senior pathways guide will provide for students and parents/carers, information regarding Year 10 units as well as Year 11 and 12. The range of options available in the senior secondary years of schooling is wide and continues to expand. The majority of students go on to complete the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), however, there are a number of pathways available for students to achieve a senior secondary qualification. These pathways make it possible for a variety of student needs to be met within the school environment.

At St Peter’s College we seek to provide as many of these senior secondary pathways as possible so that students are able to make the choice which suits them best and will allow them to achieve their own personal goals. While many of our students will follow the pathway into a VCE program, some will include a Vocational Education and Training (VET) component in their studies. Another option open to students whose needs may not be met by mainstream VCE studies is the Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE VM).
