Senior School
Senior School is a time of increased focus, as students pursue their preferred subjects and work hard to get where they wish to be. We expect every student to develop self-regulation and diligence in order to strive for their personal best and develop their perseverance and independence. While study is important, student wellbeing is also a focus. As our Years 10 to 12 students enter into the final phase of their time at school, it is important to know that at Kingswood College, we will support them in navigating the challenges and triumphs ahead.
Year 10
Year 10 is where students are introduced to the Senior School. They move from wearing the College wardrobe daily to the following dress code and physically move from the Middle School environment. Year 10 students undertake careers programs, have more elective choices, and some take on advanced studies, completing a VCE subject. Year 10 is also a time of increased leadership opportunities, including House positions and working with Year 7 students in a mentoring capacity.
It is a time of significant personal development and an increased understanding of themselves and their pathways ahead. Year 10 students embark on their final outdoor education experience, where they can exercise choice in their level of challenge. It is an exciting and engaging year of learning and growth.
Year 11
Year 11 is where students exercise enormous choice in choosing their path. All subjects (except one from the English group) are chosen by the students themselves. Students become more responsible for their study habits and completion of work. There are several leadership roles available to students and we encourage them to take on activities that they enjoy in order to round out their development and experience.
Year 12
Year 12 is often seen as a high-pressure year, however, it is so much
more than that. Proper preparation and steady work make the demands manageable. At Kingswood College, we want all of our students to do well and to study hard, however, we also want them to recognise that their performance in Year 12 does not define them as a person.
Careers Program & VCE Subjects
We have an incredibly broad range of pathways offered, with 26/30 of the top VCE subjects available to our students. This is accompanied by us investing in specialist teachers to support each of the pathways we offer to ensure the best results possible for our students.
Furthermore, our Careers and Pathways Coordinator supports students in course planning, tertiary selection and planning courses that assist each individual in meeting their aspirations beyond school.
At Kingswood College we proudly work to fulfil our vision to embolden hearts and inspire minds in a nurturing environment, on land that holds deep cultural significance to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge and honour their Elders, past and present, and extend our respect to all First Nations people. Whenever we gather, and wherever we gather, we extend respect and dignity to the first inhabitants of our country and acknowledge the truth about the country on which our school has stood and now stands.
