Designed to highlight pathway opportuni􀆟es which exist to best suits the needs and aspira􀆟ons of our senior students.  \nStudents select a program over two or three years that sa􀆟sfies the requirements of the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (VCAA) . There is provision for students to take longer to complete their studies and to change direc􀆟on during that 􀆟me. Students need to be aware of choosing a meaningful course of study, which will provide pathways into their chosen further study and employment. For students wishing to follow a ter􀆟ary pathway, when selec􀆟ng subjects, students should carefully check the VTAC Guide prerequisite requirements for any Tafe or University courses or career paths they may be considering. For students looking towards a voca􀆟onal or employment pathway, selec􀆟ng subjects which complement, or value add are encouraged.  \nWe will always endeavour to sa􀆟sfy the subject choices and requirements of as many students as possible. Unfortunately, there can be situa􀆟ons where students may not receive their first choice of subject and subjects will only run if there is sufficient demand from students. The feasibility of a class running is dependent on many variable constraints: the 􀆟metable, the minimum class size, and the physical and human resources available at the College.  \nMarina Bruzzese, MNSC Senior School Leader  \nTable of Contents  \nMNSC Pathway Guidelines………… p3  \nCollege Pathways …………………… p3  \nCourse Counselling…………………. p4  \nCareers and Pathways at MNSC……. p4  \nSenior School | Minimum Requirements Year 10……………………… p5-6  \nVCE…………………………. p7  \nVET………………………………….. p8  \nOptional Curriculum Activities ……… p9-10  \nObtaining Your VCE .……………….. p11-14  \nImportant Senior Information & Policies ……………………… p15-17  \nSubject Offerings Year 10 Core Units ………….. p 18  \nYear 10 Electives……………. p19-20  \nVCE Unit Descriptions……… p21-32  \nVCE-VM Unit Outlines …….. p 33-35  \n2024 VET Course Options…………… p36-37  \nAppendices  \nApp 1 : Student Contract…………..… p38  \nApp 2: Driving To School Agreement .. p39  \nApp 3: Familiar Senior School Terms... p40  \nRegularly Used Acronyms  \nBefore we start, we understand that often the senior school language is new to many students and their guardians which can often be daunting.
