YEAR 10 COURSE SELECTION

 

Colac Secondary College aims to give Year 10 students choice by offering electives for each Key Learning Area. Like all elective systems, there will be choice but that does not mean all subjects will run or that students will always get their first preference.

 

Our intention is to motivate and prepare Year 10 students for the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) by offering some choices at Year 10. Furthermore, there are careers advice strategies in place to help students develop a Year 10 course leading to a VCE pathway that is relevant to the student’s interests and strengths, but still has some flexibility.

The full Handbook can be found from the Information Handbooks page.
