Year 11 Subjects
Year 11 is an exciting step in every student's pathway journey, providing opportunities to explore interests, develop strengths, and work towards future career and study goals.
Students can choose from a wide range of subjects within the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM), and Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs. These pathways allow students to tailor their learning to suit their aspirations, whether they are planning for university, TAFE, apprenticeships, traineeships, or employment.
