Depth of learning
In the Junior School (Year 7 to 9), we prioritise depth of learning and deliver the Victorian Curriculum where it dovetails with our school community’s context. In the Senior School (Year 10-12), we offer the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), including the new VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM, formerly VCAL), and a variety of Vocational Education and Training (VET) subjects.
