PATHWAYS EDUCATION

senior Pathways

Our students are offered a variety of possibilities and pathways as they consider the best way to complete their secondary education. 

As students enter their senior school years, they can personalise their VCE journey by selecting from 3 options: An academic VCE, the applied learning centred VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) or the specialised Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC). These courses have within them, the possibility of engaging in Vocational Education and Training (VET) or a School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBAT’s). There is also the option to complete accelerated VCE studies within the myMAP years, and to enter accelerated university subjects during VCE that contribute to students’ ATARs. 

The College also supports personalised student learning through a program called PIVOT, standing for Pathways Involving Vocations or Training. Within this program students are offered a range of short nationally recognised courses that are focused on employability skills to enhance their opportunities for employment or further training. Acceptance into this pathway is through consultation with the Pathways team and senior leaders of the College.

Students and families are supported with making these decisions along their Assumption Journey by their Learning Mentor Teacher and members of the qualified Pathways Team.
