YEAR 10 LEARNING

Year 10 students who are not following an applied learning pathway will study six core subjects, and a subject called Futures, which covers career pathways, ethics, and learning and thinking strategies. Students will also select either a VCE/VET subject or a number of electives, which may include a semesterlong elective or a year-long LOTE elective.

The Year 10 Applied Learning Program (ALP) is a pathway choice with a focus on 'real life'/ Applied Learning projects and skills. Whenever possible, tasks and assessments have a practical focus. ALP is available as an option for all students in Year 10 and is one possible gateway into the VCE Vocational Major. Students within the ALP will also participate in PE & and a Careers program.

The ALP requires students to complete 8 units across the year plus 1 VET Credit. The compulsory strands in ALP are:

• Literacy

• Numeracy

• Work Related Skills

• Personal Development Skills

• Industry Specific Skills (covered through VET qualification)
