Year 10 Information

Choosing a Year 10 Program

A Broad Curriculum with Plenty of Choice

To ensure that Year 10 students are covering all required content while also having a chance to choose subjects of personal interest from amongst a range of subject options from different subject areas, we have provided the following options.

Program Selection

Year 10s will study six units each semester. This is twelve units over the course of the year. To ensure that Year 10 students meet the requirements of the Victorian Curriculum, the following subjects are compulsory (core studies):

• two units of Mathematics for the whole year (one unit per semester)

• two units of English for the whole year (one unit per semester)

• one unit of Core Science

• one unit of Core Humanities

• one unit of a Health subject

Students must also select five other electives. These may be selected from any of the learning areas and may include one VCE or VET Study (Units 1 and 2).

Students studying a language in Year 9 are strongly urged to consider continuing with their language (French or Indonesian) in Year 10 and are encouraged to discuss this with their current Language Teacher.

Remember: Students may also choose one VCE subject (Units 1 and 2) from those available to Year 10s. Students wishing to do so must complete the VCE Endorsement section of the online Course Selection form. Students may also choose from the available VET studies.

Note: {YL} = Year Long subjects which must be undertaken in both semesters if selected

          {1} = Single Semester Subjects which may be undertaken in Semester One or Two

          {2} = Single Semester Subjects offered in Semester Two with a prerequisite Semester One Subject

          {1 / YL} = Some subjects are can be selected as either Year Long or Semester Long"

Compulsory subjects are in bold. The College reserves the right to withdraw any unit if an insufficient number of students selects it.
