Year 11 and 12 Curriculum Overview

​​​​​​​​​​​The Senior Years (Years 11 and 12) provide students with the opportunity to best prepare them for future study or employment.

They can elect to undertake several types of pathways that prepare them for tertiary studies, the world of work or both.   

Tertiary Studies ATAR Pathways, Blended ATAR and Vocational Pathways, or Vocational non-ATAR pathways:​​

• General and Applied subjects
  
• ATAR or non-ATAR
