The pathways that students choose over the next few years will be instrumental in their transition from secondary school into the workforce or further education.  \nStudents at Year 10 level will have the opportunity to study subjects from the following program:  \n\n| YEAR 10 | CORE SUBJECTS | VCE/VET SUBJECTS |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Maths English Humanities\u003Cbr>Science\u003Cbr>Personal Development | Students may have the opportunity to choose a VCE/VET subject dependent on academic performance. |\n\n• Study both of the core subjects (Maths and English)  \n• Choose either the Year 10 core subjects Science, Personal Development and Humanities, or a VCE/VET subject in Lines 3, 4 and/or 5, or study  \nMany of Year 10 students select a VCE or VET subject. However, their entry into this subject is dependent on the student’s readiness for accelerated study and they will be guided through their selections by the Senior School Team.  \nStudents and parents should use this handbook to carefully consider the educational programs and ensure the pathway being chosen is based on informed decision-making. Further advice can, and should be sought from the relevant coordinators, subject teachers and the Careers Coordinator.  \nOrbost Community College encourages students to adopt a three year approach to senior studies commencing in Year 10. Where appropriate, we encourage Year 10 students to commence their VCE or VET program whilst in Year 10.  \nOrbost Community College has introduced a Two Year Rotation Policy in some VCE subjects to ensure viable numbers at both Units 1/2 and 3/4 . That is, a subject will run only at Year 11 in one year, and Year 12 the next; therefore, some students will have begun a VCE unit at Year 10 and will complete it in Year 11.  \nStudents will have to satisfy criteria including:  \n• the availability of places in the VCE class  \n• recommendations from subject teachers  \n• the past performances of the student in Year 9  \n• must have demonstrated an excellent attitude to learning, as shown by their reports  \n• the career aspirations of the student and any requirements associated with this career  \n• decisions regarding a student’s program will involve the student, staff and parents.  \n| 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Units 1 and 2 | Units 1 and 2 | Units 1 and 2 | Units 1 and 2 |\n| PE\u003Cbr>Art – Making\u003Cbr>and Exhibiting\u003Cbr>Psychology\u003Cbr>Biology | Outdoor Ed\u003Cbr>Vis Com\u003Cbr>Health & Human Development | PE\u003Cbr>Art – Making\u003Cbr>and Exhibiting\u003Cbr>Psychology\u003Cbr>Biology | Outdoor Ed\u003Cbr>Vis Com\u003Cbr>Health & Human Development |\n| Units 3 and 4 | Units 3 and 4 | Units 3 and 4 | Units 3 and 4 |\n| Outdoor Ed\u003Cbr>Vis Com\u003Cbr>Health & Human Development | PE\u003Cbr>Art – Making\u003Cbr>and Exhibiting\u003Cbr>Psychology\u003Cbr>Biology | Outdoor Ed\u003Cbr>Vis Com\u003Cbr>Health & Human Development | PE\u003Cbr>Art – Making\u003Cbr>and Exhibiting\u003Cbr>Psychology\u003Cbr>Biology |\n\nYR 10  \nYR 10   \nAs students enter senior school, Year 10 English aims to prepare students for their VCE pathway and beyond.
