The CLC Education Charter outlines core beliefs and practices around how we work and it clarifies the expectations of every teacher, student and parents/carers in order for each student to realise their full potential.

The CLC Education Charter embodies five interrelated elements – excellence, wisdom, belonging, courage and responsibility. It also provides an opportunity for students to promote and embrace the elements of the Charter to equip our students for success in their future endeavours.

Year 10 is the final year of compulsory schooling, and as such it plays an important transitional role for students before selecting a pathway for the final years of their secondary schooling.

The Year 10 curriculum offers a significant number of units and is structured to offer students flexibility to allow for personal interests to develop. Year 10 students learn within a rigorous, challenging, supportive and contemporary learning environment that promotes personal excellence. The Year 10 curriculum provides engaging learning programs that encourage students to use their talents to the best of their abilities and to strive for excellence.

It is also an important consolidation year in the areas that students may wish to pursue further. A good foundation in Year 10 will make the transition to the last years of secondary school much smoother.

Students are also encouraged to continue to explore as many learning areas as possible while beginning to focus on their future pathways.

This Course Guide provides an overview of the Year 10 program offered at CLC in 2024 and details the offerings for each of the Learning Areas. It is designed to assist students and their parents with the task of selecting an appropriate program of study. All students and parents are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the contents of this handbook, as well as using all the resources available, such as the Career Pathways Leader, subject teachers and Learning Leaders.
