Year 11 & 12

Senior Pathways

Numurkah Secondary College is committed to providing extensive programs for all students continuing their post compulsory education. 

Course counselling for all students will take place in term 3, involving Senior School teachers and our Career Advisor, Parents and Students. Students can obtain advice regarding pathway planning to a particular career at any time and this encouraged throughout their senior years of schooling.  They are encouraged to make full use of the Careers Centre and to explore all options, discussing any issues that arise with their home gorup teacher or the Careers Advisor.  

In selecting subjects for years 11 and 12, full consideration is given to a student’s intended pathway beyond secondary college; this may include University, TAFE, apprenticeships/traineeships or employment. We hope that all students who leave leave Numurkah Secondary College do so after completing either one of the the two senior certificate options:

  • The  Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or

  • The Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). 

Our College's senior school curriculum allows students to design an individual program through a comprehensive range of Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) & Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) studies providing real pathways to post secondary opportunities as outlined in the Senior Handbook.

We provide access to Certificate I, II or III credentials through a number of Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses offered in partnership with Goulburn Ovens TAFE. Many of our students also undertake a School Based Apprenticeships. Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses and School Based Apprenticeships  count as units towards both the VCE and the VCAL certificates.   

 Year 12 students are provided with a great deal of support in making choices for post-secondary options, particularly with Tertiary applications (University and TAFE) through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) system.
