In Year 10, students are exposed to more demanding learning in preparation for their VCE years. Year 10 students have the opportunity to study VCE Unit 1 and 2 subjects. The purpose of this is to introduce them to the structure of VCE and allow them to pursue Unit 3 and 4 subjects in Year 11.
Our Year 10 students also have the opportunity to participate in an exchange program with our sister school in Indonesia. This program teaches our students to become independent and confident.
