Subject Selection Process This booklet outlines the Curriculum Courses available to students entering Years 10, 11 or 12 at Phoenix P-12 Community College in 2022. The table below outlines the Subject Selection Process.

Learning Programs Year 10 Year 11 and 12

Students entering Year 10 embark on their Senior School learning program. Students will continue to undertake core studies. However, this is also the time when students begin planning an Individualised program to suit their interests, passions, career goals and pathways. Some students will begin their VCE/VCAL program by taking on appropriate study and may wish to include a Work Experience option in their learning program.

Student learning programs in Years 11 and 12 are highly specialised and focused on connecting students with the pathway of their choice. Students undertake studies in an individually designed extensive and flexible VCE, VCAL and/or VET programs. The College has strong links with local industry and strive to provide work placement learning opportunities relevant to students needs and career pathways. The College is a registered provider of training programs meaning that we offer a wide variety of VET courses within the school environment. Students study within a managed environment that emphasizes increased personal responsibility for learning.

Learning Pathways

Page 5: 2022 Subject Selection Booklet Years 10 – 12

In English students learn to appreciate, enjoy and use language. Understanding texts and recognising how language works within them is necessary for an active, informed and fulfilling life in modern Australian society and the global community. Students read, view, listen to, write, create, compare, research and talk about a range of text types from the simple to the complex. Students learn to control language by applying their understanding of grammar, learning to spell accurately and use punctuation effectively, as well as by imitating good writers and speakers.
