Curriculum: Senior School - Years 11 & 12

The nature of senior schooling is undergoing rapid change. Retention rates at Year 11 & 12 have increased to such an extent that schools can no longer offer a purely academic or vocational program. Schools must engage senior students in a variety of pathways that include the V.C.E., VCAL, V.E.TiS and New Apprenticeships.

Mary MacKillop College has responded to these challenges. Specifically we have:

  • Provided a team of teachers and co-ordinators to assist students in choosing a course of study which meets their individual needs. This team includes the Senior School Co-ordinator and Careers Advisor, as well as Learning Area Co-ordinators and subject teachers.
  • Formed partnerships with Central Gippsland Institute of T.A.F.E, McMillan and V.C.A.H to offer TAFE/VET courses across a range of areas.
  • Provided pathways in New Apprenticeships involving a combination of schooling, T.A.F.E and employment.
  • VCE Mary MacKillop currently offers the following subjects covering Units 1-4 of the VCE.
