Senior School Programs at St Patrick’s College
To ensure that we continue to meet the challenge of providing programs that cater for a range of types and stages of learning, St Patrick’s has developed a Senior School structure which allows boys to access a variety of subjects and pathways designed to provide each boy with the maximum flexibility to meet his learning needs and to attain the certification most relevant to his future education and employment goals. For a typical Year 10 student, the majority of his studies will continue to be based on the Victorian Curriculum. Students in Year 11 and 12 can undertake a Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate as part of their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).
If you are new to the Senior School, the range of programs and the acronyms involved can be a little confusing. Here are some resources to introduce you to the programs and concepts referred to when discussing subject selection in the Senior School.
