INTRODUCTION

John Curtin College of the Arts has a strong tradition of academic excellence.

John Curtin will offer 40 School Curriculum Standards Authority ATAR and General courses, and vocational educational training (VET) credit transfer courses from which students can compile their course selection to meet WACE requirements.

In Year 11, we recommend university bound students select to study five or more ATAR courses and non-university bound students should select predominately General courses. The College recommends non-university bound students include at least one VET course in their subject selections.

It is vital that students seek counselling from John Curtin’s course advising staff as part of the course selection process. Course advising staff make use of teachers’ recommendations based on each student’s current academic achievement.

I would like to encourage all parents to seek as much information as they need from the College to make these important decisions. Please feel very welcome to contact teachers, course advisors, deputy principals or myself to clarify any concerns.
