CURRICULUM SENIOR YEARS In Year 10, all students study four core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science, and Faith & Living) and the Personal Learning Plan, which contributes 10 credit points, at Stage 1 level, towards the SACE. They also study one term of History and one term of Health & PE. Students can then choose another four subjects from the list of subjects offered. Numerous opportunities are provided for students to accelerate and commence their Stage 1 and 2 studies early, pursue VET courses, and/or cross-campus study. Year 11 students study the equivalent of seven full year subjects (or 14 semester subjects). This is 140 credits towards the SACE. Stage 1 students must study: Faith & Living, Research Project, English (Literacy) for two semesters and a least one semester of Mathematics (Numeracy). In addition to these compulsory requirements, students choose their remaining eight subjects from any other subjects offered at Stage 1 or 2 level. Year 12 students study the equivalent of four full year subjects. Together with Faith & Living, this means a total of 90 credits towards their SACE. The Research Project worth 10 credits may be studied at Stage 2 level, if not previously completed in Stage 1. It is possible for a senior student in certain circumstances to select one subject offered at one of the other schools on the campus. This would be negotiated, for example, if a difficult combination of subjects did not meet the Gleeson line structure. A range of creative subjects are offered in the senior years, such as Criminology, or through Integrated Learning at Stage 1 and/or 2 level, such as Automotive Studies, Language and Culture Studies, and Sports Studies.
