Year 9 Curriculum Structure - 2026

Year 9 is a very exciting year level at St Bede’s College. Students will complete both Core and Elective studies and will have the opportunity to select what they wish to study from a wider range of subjects. At St Bede’s College, the Year 9 curriculum framework offers students a launch pad into their senior phase of learning. The framework also aligns to the nation-wide changes to curriculum and its impact on VCE and VCE Vocational Major (VM). 

2026 also sees the College offer a range of experiences over the course of the year whereby the timetable is suspended and activities run for groups of students.
These include social and personal development via Camp, The Rite Journey and other learning activities such as City Experience and Careers Education.

The Year 9 program is driven by two main goals. First, to create an educational framework that offers the very best preparation for each student’s future. Courses and electives are delivered within the Victorian Curriculum’s guidelines for accreditation, assessment and reporting. Our second and equally important goal is to provide pathway options that enable each individual student to find challenge, success and fulfilment, with broadening students' view to the Senior Years of education and beyond.
