The 2025 Year 7-10 Curriculum Overview is an important document at the College.
This document provides a content summary of each subject, the number of lessons a cycle, as well as the strands taught in each subject. The strands are ways that a subject curriculum is organised according to skill or content. For example, English has three strands: Reading and Viewing, Writing, and Speaking and Listening.
In the Course Outline section, you will find more detail on the subjects being studied at each year level. In this area of the Curriculum Overview, each subject area lists the topics explored, as well as the associated assessment tasks with that subject. An indication of subject areas where the four capabilities are assessed is also provided in the course outline. There is also indication as to the type of assessments that are undertaken in each subject.
It is a handy resource to consult over the course of the year, and it may help with initiating conversations about learning at home.
It can be found in the Parent Handbook, under Year 7-10 Programs. It is also available on the College website, on the ‘Learning and Teaching’ page, under ‘Curriculum/Subject Handbooks’.
Information regarding the curriculum for VCE and the VCE Vocational Major can be accessed through the publication Course Guide 2025 Senior Programs. It can be found via PAM in the Parent Handbook, in the Subject Selection folder.
