At Pakenham Secondary College we are committed to
ensuring that the students who attend our College leave
with an appropriate qualification(s), together with a
pathway to further study and employment that is
important to them. We are committed to ensure that we
provide a tailored approach to all of our students as they
seek learning and pathways opportunities that relate to
their future hopes and aspirations.
Our students have the opportunity to select from a variety
of study options in 2025. These include the Victorian
Certificate of Education (VCE), the VCE Vocational Major
(VM), and the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC).
Students can also choose to complete Vocational
Education
and
Training
(VET)
and
School
Based
Apprenticeship and Training (SBAT). We are proud to be
able to provide a Senior School Curriculum that best
meets the needs of all of our students as they strive to
follow a learning pathway that suits their skills and
interests.
I encourage all parents and students to become familiar
with the contents of this Handbook. Furthermore, I urge
families to take up the opportunity to participate in Course
Counselling sessions that will be made available to
parents/carers and students.
As a College, we look forward to working with our students
in order to support them in achieving a pathway and
future that is important to them.
