Secondary Years 7 - 12

In Years 7 and 8, the curriculum reflects our belief that students in early secondary schooling benefit from participating in a broad range of core learning opportunities. In Year 7, students complete ten core subjects and their choice of Language. Electives are introduced in Year 8. Year 8 students continue with their choice of Language and, in addition to their core subjects, they have a choice of one Semester-long and two Term-long electives. Year 9 students continue with their choice of Language. In addition to the core subjects, students have a choice of two Semester-long electives. Electives expand in Year 10, where students select a major proportion of their academic program. Subject choices in Year 10 increase significantly during this crucial year.The St Michael’s VCE program in Years 11 and 12 features a comprehensive range of more than 40 subjects, including all major Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology) and the full complement of Humanities (Accounting, Business Management, Economics, Geography, History, Legal Studies and Global Politics).
