Key Personnel For The Personal Learning Program

At least one unit from each Key Learning Area must be included at Year 8 and 9 levels. 

Each KLA will explain their requirements in more detail in the relevant Unit Description section.

In the 2 years from Year 8 to Year 9 of the PLP, students must aim to include the following number of units in their PLP:

Year 10 students must complete 2 Units from Maths, 2 Units from English and 1 Science unit.  They must also select a ‘Major Study’: either a VCE Unit 1&2 sequence; or a full year VET option.  There are no other KLA restrictions; however students are encouraged to include a mix from all other KLAs.

Your learning program is already organised for you.  You will be allocated a Pastoral Care Group with whom you will study most of your subjects.  Your group will be looked after by a Pastoral Care Leader (PCL) who will also be one of your main teachers.

This needs to be fully completed and returned to the IT Office by the closing date for selections.

If you wanted to study a VCE unit 1 and 2 sequence and weren't eligable, you need to select a full program online, and then complete a "VCE Unit 1 and 2 Subject Application form" which is available from the IT Office. This needs to be fully completed and returned to your Year Level Manager.

It will be helpful if you can decide which Senior Pathway you intend to follow – either VCE or a VCE-VM pathway.

Seek counselling advice to ensure your course prepares you for your future studies. 

Year 10 students must select a Major Study.  This will take up two (2) of their available choices.  These can be any of the following units:

• A sequence of VCE Units (Unit 1 and Unit 2). i.e., VCE Drama Units 1 and 2 (DRA1 and DRA2)

NOTE: Any VCE Unit 1 and 2 Sequences that are available to Year 10 students to select are labelled as ‘Early Access’ units and are listed on the Year 10 Selection Grid in the Year 10 Grid (see Year Level Grids) and on your PLP Passport as green coloured units. 

• A VET study that runs for the whole year. i.e., VET Building (10TW1, 10TW2).

NOTE: VET units that can be studied as a Major Study are listed in the Year 10 Grid (see Year Level Grids) and on your PLP Passport as green coloured units.

You will need to decide if you will follow a VCE or VCE-VM pathway.

For a VCE pathway you must choose a total of 6 VCE or VET subjects.  Generally, they will be at Units 1 and 2 level, but you might consider extension studies at Units 3 and 4 level in one subject if eligable.

If you intend to study an additional VCE unit 3 and 4 sequence, you must complete the "Additional VCE Unit 3 and 4 Subject application form" which is available from the IT Office. This needs to be fully completed and returned to your Year Level Coordinator.

If you wanted to study a VCE unit 3 and 4 sequence and weren't eligable, you must complete the "VCE Unit 3 and 4 Subject application form" which is available from the IT Office. This needs to be fully completed and returned to the IT Office by the closing date for selections

Choose your subjects based on your further study or career aspirations.  Refer to the VCE or VCE-VM requirements in the Senior Programs Handbook.

Choose your subjects based on your further study or career aspirations.  Refer to the VCE or VCE-VM requirements in the Senior Programs Handbook.

While it is possible to reach most goals from either certificate, or from a combined program, VCE and VCE-VM each have a particular focus.

Generally, VCE will lead students to university courses or work.

Generally, VCE-VM will lead students to apprenticeships, traineeships and other employment.
