The Peninsula School believes that student programmes in Year 10 should be based on a strong core curriculum of sequential courses that ensure a solid base for the senior years. At the same time, the curriculum should be broad enough to open up secure and interesting pathways to both the training and higher education sectors.

Physical and moral education are important parts of the Year 10 Core programme, supplemented by a pastoral curriculum and a wide range of co-curricular experiences. I moving from the Middle School (Years 7-9), electives are studied for the whole year rather than just for a simple semester.

The number of students attempting VCE subjects are part of the Year 10 programme has grown over the past few years. In general, this is useful strategy for students who are looking to be extended in their studies. Access to Unit 1&2 subjects is negotiated on an individual basis with students on the basis if their performance in their Year 9 studies.

Other features of the Year 10 programme include our Work Experience week and our Outdoor Education camps.
