Gleeson College Curriculum Guide 2026 - Senior Years | 32 Year 11 Curriculum Students begin their SACE journey in earnest in Year 11, choosing nearly all of their subjects in each semester. As a result, student learning closely aligns with their aspirations, interests, and capabilities. Students typically study SACE Stage 1 subjects in Year 11, and SACE Stage 2 subjects in Year 12. All students study Spiritualities, Religion and Meaning (within Faith and Living) and Activating Identities and Futures. They must also study and achieve at least a C grade in two semesters of English and at least one semester of Mathematics in order to achieve their SACE. From Year 11, students start to specialise in their learning, choosing subjects that will help them build the foundations of success in Year 12 and beyond. All students study Activating Identities & Futures, and must study two semesters of SACE Stage 1 English and at least one semester of SACE Stage 1 Mathematics, if these have not already been successfully completed in Year 10. The remaining subjects are chosen from options in all learning areas. Subjects chosen at Year 11 can have implications for options available in Year 12 and in further study. Families must consider prerequisites and minimum achievement levels for progression into chosen subjects and further study. We encourage families to take great care in choosing pathways to ensure that students are able to realise their ambitions for future study and beyond. The College makes decisions with regard to progression and subject selection as outlined in the Year Level Progression Policy and associated Procedures.
