study/train one day a week through

Senior Education and Training (SET)
Plan Process
During Year 10 students begin work on
their SET Plans.
Time and resources are given to
students to research various
occupations, industry and educational
pathways.
A student’s interests, abilities and
ambitions are taken into account when
making decisions regarding the senior
phase of learning.
Students need to consider their futures
based on their abilities and their
research into career options.
A SET Plan interview occurs during Term
3 between the Year 10 student, their
parent/carer and a school staff member.
SET Plans can be updated by the student
at any time whilst they are a Senior
School student.
Tertiary Entrance Pathway Guidance
The school holds a Pathways Expo
every year in Term 2. Students from
Years 10, 11 and 12 attend the Expo
to engage with representatives from
universities, training organisations
and employment organisations.
Year 11 and 12 is a two year
course. Students gain formative
knowledge and skills in Year 11
which is applied in Year 12
summative assessment.
