Course Counselling
As part of the College’s commitment to supporting informed pathways choices by students, the Pathways Team in conjunction with the House Leaders and Cluster Leaders operate an extensive course counselling process for students enrolling in Years 9 to 12.
Choosing a pathway is an important decision for a student. However, there is key advice which should be adhered to at all year levels.
Choose a course and subjects based on the following:
- Choose subject which you enjoy.
- Choose subjects which you are good at.
- Choose subjects which will support your future direction.
- If you are going into VCE at Year 11 or 12 check the prerequisite subjects for tertiary courses carefully. Refer to the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) website for more information. http://www.vtac.edu.au/who/meeting-prerequisites.html
Don’t choose subjects based on:
- Choices your friends are making.
- Teachers you like/do not like.
