Early Pathway Opportunities
In Year 10, students begin connecting their learning to future goals. Many undertake one VCE or VET subject, join structured work experience and explore the senior pathways of VCE, IB and I-LEAD with growing clarity and confidence.
Students with a passion for faith and leadership may also apply for ILIAS — Islamic Leadership & Integrated Arabic Studies. Offered from Year 9, ILIAS introduces Islamic scholarship, advanced Arabic and community engagement. Participants earn a Certificate II in Applied Language (Arabic) and gain priority entry into the I-LEAD Diploma in their Senior years.
