Curriculum

The curriculum allows every student the opportunity to develop goals, experience success, and identify opportunities for further learning. It is through the development of the whole person – the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional and social dimensions – that a Whitefriars College student can belong, believe and become a creative, courageous, and gentle man in society.

Senior Years – Curriculum Overview

We have extensive study opportunities for our students in their Senior Years (Years 10-12). As students move into Year 10 they have the opportunity to build an individual pathway that leads to their final years of study. Within the Year 10 program, students undertake the core curriculum subjects, VCE Religion and Society Unit 1, English, Mathematics, History, Health and Physical Education and Science. In addition to these subjects, students then select Year 10 elective subjects from the Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Science, Humanities and LOTE learning areas. The Year 10 curriculum is complemented by work experience, community service and many co-curricular activities.

As well as a strong and varied Year 10 elective program, students can apply to undertake a Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) subject and/or a specialist Vocational Education and Training (VET) subject before entering into the full program in Years 11 and 12.

The number of VCE subjects available to our students in Years 11 and 12 Senior Years is vast and students also have a wide range of Vocational Education & Training (VET) options that can be included in their program. Students looking for a more vocational pathway can select the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) in conjunction with their chosen VET program.
