2026 Curriculum

Senior School

 

Year 10

All year 10 students will study the equivalent of 14 semesters throughout the year. By offering a wide range of options, we aim to cater to the diverse needs and abilities of all learners.

A key requirement for year 10 students is the completion of 'Exploring Identities and Futures' (EIF), a compulsory component of the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). To successfully complete this 10-credit unit, students must achieve a grade of 'C' or better.

Years 11 and 12
South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE)

The South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) is a modern, internationally recognised secondary school qualification. It is designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and capabilities needed to thrive in a dynamic and challenging world.

Students will be awarded the SACE upon successfully completing the requirements, which include a range of skills and subjects studied at school or acquired through other education, training, or experience. To complete the qualification, students must earn 200 credits from a selection of Stage 1 and Stage 2 subjects. Typically, a 10-credit subject represents one semester of study, while a 20-credit subject spans two semesters of study.
