Curriculum Guide: Year 10

Year 10 Pathways

Year 10 marks an important transition into the Senior Years. Students begin to shape a more personalised program, explore future pathways and develop the independence needed for success in Years 11 and 12.

With guidance from teachers and mentors, students may combine core Year 10 studies with selected VCE subjects, allowing them to pursue areas of interest while building confidence and academic readiness. Students continue to engage in a broad curriculum across English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Health and Physical Education, Languages and the Arts, alongside a wide range of elective offerings.

Electives provide opportunities for students to explore interests across areas including STEM, business, commerce, humanities, visual and performing arts, VET and languages. Many are designed to extend students through authentic and engaging learning experiences while supporting informed subject and pathway choices for the senior years.

Students considering VCE acceleration are supported through a consultative process involving students, families and the School. Decisions are based on academic readiness, organisation, motivation and the maturity required to manage the demands of VCE study alongside a Year 10 program.

For some students, the most appropriate pathway is to complete a full Year 10 program before commencing VCE studies. The School works closely with each student and family to ensure the pathway chosen best supports long-term growth, wellbeing and success.

Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is the senior secondary qualification awarded by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). At Caulfield Grammar School, students are supported to pursue a broad and academically challenging program aligned to their interests, strengths and future pathways.

Most students complete the VCE across Years 11 and 12. To be awarded the VCE, students must successfully complete a minimum of 16 units, including:

• at least three units from the English group, including a Unit 3/4 sequence
• at least three additional Unit 3/4 sequences

Many students complete more than the minimum number of units as part of a broad and personalised senior program.

The VCE program includes a wide range of subjects, alongside opportunities for acceleration, VET studies and flexible pathway planning. Students are encouraged to select subjects that both challenge and support them academically while maintaining a balanced and manageable program of study.

Accelerated program

Caulfield Grammar School recognises the importance of appropriately challenging students academically. Opportunities for subject acceleration are available for students who demonstrate strong readiness, organisation, motivation and academic maturity.

Acceleration may involve:

• a Year 10 student undertaking a Unit 1/2 subject
• a Year 11 student undertaking a Unit 3/4 subject

Decisions regarding acceleration are made through a consultative process involving students, families and key school staff. Consideration is given not only to academic performance, but also to a student’s wellbeing, learning behaviours and capacity to manage the demands of senior studies successfully.
For some students, the most appropriate pathway is to complete a standard Year 10 or Year 11 program before progressing to accelerated studies. The School works closely with students and families to ensure each learner is placed on the pathway best suited to their long-term growth and success.
All Year 12 students complete five subjects, regardless of whether acceleration has occurred earlier in the senior years.

Year 10 Acceleration Criteria

To be considered for acceleration into VCE studies, students are expected to demonstrate strong academic performance, consistent learning behaviours and readiness for the increased demands of senior studies.

MYP Criterion Achievement levels are calculated from four assessment criteria in each subject, with a maximum score of 32.
