The 2026 Year 10 Guide to career pathways and tertiary prerequisites from QTAC is another very useful tool to assist students plan their pathways.
YEAR 11 & 12
Years 11 and 12 provide opportunities for further specialisation. Students should choose a program based on subject area:
- they enjoy
- have achieved success in
- provide a balanced education program
- lead to a preferred career pathway
Students can choose any combination of 6 subjects, The colour coding (blue and green) in the 2024 Year 11 & 12 Senior Curriculum Handbook allows students to easily ascertain if they will be ATAR eligible. To be ATAR eligible students should look for 'blue' subjects. If direct entry to University is not part of a student's career pathway, they can look more to the 'green' subjects.
Remember, to get the best outcomes students should:
- choose subjects they have a genuine interest in
- know what pathway is realistic for them
- know what the prerequisites are (check course guidelines) and can meet the prerequisites
- have talked to teachers and affirmed they could manage the requirements
- are prepared to work hard.
Preparation for Year 11 and 12
Our Heads of Departments for each learning area have prepared a video outlining the structure and possible pathways for each subject.
