INTRODUCTION

John Curtin College of the Arts has a strong tradition of academic excellence. The College offers over 40 School Curriculum and Standards Authority courses and vocational educational training (VET) credit transfer courses from which students can compile their course selection to meet WACE requirements.

In Year 12, university bound students must select to study four 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 counselling staff as part of the course selection process. Counselling staff make use of teachers’ recommendations based on each student’s current 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 counsellors, deputy principals or myself to clarify any issues.
