Subject Selection

Year 8 into Year 9

Year 9 is a time for consolidation, development and preparation for Year 10.  The curriculum structure at this level ensures that all students are exposed to a broad range of subjects in the elective areas thereby providing an opportunity for specialisation in areas of interest.

Term 3  
•    Subject Selection Assembly
•    Subject Expo: students have an opportunity to hear from past students, see examples of learning activities, work and assessment.
•    Year 9 and 10 Elective Information Evening (August)

Year 9 into 10

Year 10 is a time for development and preparation for Year 11 and 12. It is in this year that many students will make important and long-lasting decisions about the future – the subjects in which they intend to specialize in Years 11 & 12 and perhaps some choice in their intended career path. The curriculum structure at this level ensures that all students are exposed to a broad range of subjects in the electives areas thereby providing an excellent preparation for their next year while still allowing for some specialisation in areas of interest.

Year 10 into 11
 

At Mansfield Secondary College we offer the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) as one integrated senior secondary certificate. Within the VCE, students can elect to complete the VCE Vocational Major (VM) which is an applied and vocational learning based equivalent VCE. This provides all students the opportunity to complete a senior secondary certificate in line with their post-secondary needs and interests. For students who are not yet ready to undertake the VCE, the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) can be undertaken in Year 11 to improve preparedness for the VCE in subsequent years, or work, apprenticeship or traineeship pathways.

At Mansfield Secondary, we understand that every student has different aspirations. Our comprehensive course counselling process includes:
