Year 11 and 12 Curriculum Overview

By fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity, we shape graduates who are globally minded, ethically driven, and ready to lead in the industries of tomorrow.

The Senior Years, encompassing Years 11 and 12, represent a critical juncture in each student’s educational journey—where academic rigour, personal growth, and aspirational foresight converge.

During this phase, students are afforded the opportunity to pursue meticulously curated pathways that cultivate intellectual depth and practical readiness for future endeavours in tertiary education, professional domains, the workforce or a blended pathway.
