2021 Pathways Guide - Year 9-10 -2-
welcome to pathways
Dear students and families,
What is Pathways?
We are continuously developing an innovative curriculum and opportunities, offering three distinct stages of
learning: Middle Years (7-8), Pathways (9-10) and Senior School (11-12). Each stage has different purposes,
different outcomes and a wide variety of experiences. At all stages, students are challenged and supported to
reach for a potential they have not yet begun to imagine.
Our priority in Year 9-10 is student choice and student engagement. Moving from the breadth of the Middle
Years program, Pathways adds depth to learning and ‘hones-in’ on areas of enthusiasm. We offer more than 85
subjects! Students study units from all learning areas, but additional free choice allows them to pursue a learning
area and expand their understandings and skills, preparing them for Senior School.
Year 9 in 2021
The first decision you need to make in Year 8 is “do I want to keep going with French or Japanese?” Your
answer to that question determines how you allocate your subject choices. We want you to think of Pathways
as a two-year program, so in Year 8 we ask you to plan for Year 9-10, but only choose subjects for Year 9. We’ll
offer you some templates to help organise your thinking. There are lots of decisions to be made.
Year 10 in 2021
Each subject is a semester long, mirroring your final two years in senior school. 2021 is a rigorous opportunity
to learn: subjects are timetabled against Year 11-12, giving you access to VCE and VET subjects. If advancing
is something you are interested in, make sure you explore the options in the 2021 VCAL | VCE Guide.
Each student will have a Year 10 timetable that is different to their friend’s. This is because, the subjects you
completed in Year 9 make up part of your Pathways program. Remember, there are a minimum number of
subjects required from each Domain across Year 9-10. What you have completed in Year 9 will mean your Year
10 subjects are partly chosen for you. There will be support from your Learning Mentor, your Year 9 teachers
and other staff. These conversations and those you have at home should help you think more deeply about life
after school.
I wish you all the very best as you embark on your Pathways selections.

Year 9 How to use this guide
For the past two years you have experienced all Catholic College has to offer and we’ve deliberately made sure
you completed a variety of subjects. Now, we ask you to explore in-depth the subject areas that have really
interested you, so you can determine your own Pathway into the VCAL | VCE years.
It is important that your choices are guided by your interests and not what your friends are choosing, so choose
what you love, not who you’re with.
To help you pick, you will get support from your Learning Mentor, your Year 8 teachers and other staff over
the first weeks of Term 3 2020. These conversations and those you have at home should help you think more
deeply about life after school and therefore which subjects will be most suited to you over the next two years.
language or no language?
The first decision you need to make in Year 8 is “do I want to keep going with French or Japanese?” Your
answer to that question determines how you allocate your extra choices. Therefore, there are two selection
models that Year 9 (2021) students can choose from.

Year 9 How to use this guide
making your choices
Overall, you are choosing 24 subjects over two years of the Pathways program. It is important, however, that you
understand that you must choose a certain number of units from every Domain (subject area).
Having said that, we are flexible about when you do these units. For example, you can choose to do all your
Humanities in Year 9 (first year of Pathways) if you wish, or most of your Science in Year 10 2022 (second year).
It is up to you.
There are no ‘core’ classes in Year 9. Instead, the choices you make determine who you are in class with.
Remember, choose what you love, not who you’re with. Year 9 students may be studying alongside Year 10
students, particularly across Arts, Humanities, PE / Health, Religious Education, Science and Technology.
What’s wonderful is that over a fortnight, you are potentially doing something you want to do every day. You will
know your preferred subjects are coming up regularly and know they are leading to a pathway for Year 11-12
(VCE | VCAL).
ADVANCING INTO YEAR 10 MATHEMATICS (2022)
Year 9 2021 students may also want to advance into the Year 10 ‘Pre-Methods’ (Maths) Unit. If so you are
encouraged to speak to your LM, or a Year 8 Maths Teacher.
New students would discuss this at enrolment or contact Shaun Mason at the College on 6043 5500. In either
case, students need to complete an application form by Friday 7 August. A selection process is involved.
YEAR 10 (2022) ARE NOT LOCKED IN
We are asking you to plan for two years (9 and 10) but only choose for Year 9. We understand that students in
Year 8 don’t confidently know what they want to study in Year 10.
None of the choices you make for Year 10 2022 (second year of Pathways) are locked in. It is a plan only.
However, it is important you do a plan to see a pathway into VCAL | VCE years.
During Course Counselling in July - August 2021 you can change your plan.
PLANNING ACROSS TWO YEARS
Option 1 No Language
Option 2 Study a Language
Option 3 Study a Language and Advancement
Advancement options
It is unusual for a student in Year 9 to advance into a Year 11 subject.
However, if you are interested in this option, please see your Learning and Teaching year level
coordinator, your LM or Shaun Mason.
Subject Availability
Every subject offered is dependent on staffing, facilities, resources and timetabling constraints. Therefore,
electives may not run. The timing of when a subject is offered in Semester 1 or Semester 2, or when a student
studies a subject, is determined by these same constraints.
This is another reason why you choose reserve subjects.
2021 Pathways Guide - Year 9-10 -6-
Year 10 How to use this guide Expectations of you Your senior years are important. They bring an increase in workload, responsibility, freedom and the need for self-discipline. We expect a mature commitment. We expect that you seriously apply yourself to your studies, treat others with respect and courtesy and take advantage of the range of activities we provide. An important aim of our College is to develop a strong sense of Christian community, helping students develop their faith and a respect for, and commitment to, the welfare of others. This is not only achieved through the religious education program, but throughout all aspects of our curriculum. Choosing your subjects - YEAr 10 (2021) Each student will have a Year 10 timetable that is different to their friend’s. This is because, the subjects you completed in Year 9 make up part of your Pathways program. Remember, there are a minimum number of subjects required from each Domain across Year 9-10. What you have completed in Year 9 will mean your Year 10 subjects are partly chosen for you. During weeks 1-4 of Term 3 you take part in activities to help decide your 2021 units in class time with your teachers and in Learning Mentor sessions, including some reserve subjects. Study a broad range of subjects that you may enjoy and find challenging. In those first weeks of Term 3 your LM will help you work through a Subject Selection Toolkit. We invite you and your family to a Pathways Information Night on Tuesday 21 July. Talk with staff from each Domain (i.e. English, Humanities, Arts) and hear them expand on their offerings. On Wednesday 5 August, from 4 – 7.30pm bring your parents or guardians along to a late afternoon of Learning Mentor/Course Counselling Interviews where you finalise your decisions. In 2020 we may conduct the Pathways Information Night and course counselling interviews remotely. Please go to pages 8-9 for a summary of compulsory and elective options. 2021 Pathways Guide - Year 9-10 -7-
Year 10 How to use this guide
Subject Availability
Every subject offered is dependent on staffing, facilities, resources and timetabling constraints. Therefore,
electives advertised in the 2021 Pathways Guide and the VCAL | VCE Guide may not run. The timing of when
an elective is offered in Semester 1 or Semester 2, or when a student studies a subject, is determined by
these same constraints.
This is another reason why you choose reserve subjects.
Early Advancement
Although most students undertake a course of study in keeping with their year level, the curriculum is
structured in such a way that you can be recommended for subjects outside your current year level.
Students at Year 10 level can apply for the Early Advancement Program in one Unit 1-2 sequence in
VCE or VET.
Applications for early advancement are made on the recommendation of classroom teachers and are always
dependent on the availability of places. Students are interviewed as part of that process.
Interested? Read the VCAL | VCE 2021 Guide and submit the relevant form by Friday 7 August 2020.
Early Advancement Program Application | VCE
or
Early Advancement Program Application | VET
Both forms are available to students and parents. Refer to SIMON (Knowledge Banks, Course Counselling)
and to PAM (Subject Selection).
New students to our College will discuss early advancement options at their enrolment interview. Please
contact Shaun Mason on 6043 5500 to discuss.

Pathways for maths
Maths is compulsory in Year 9 and 10.
In Year 9 you choose between 9 Standard Maths or 9 Numeracy. We recommend that every student selects 9
Standard Maths unless you are certain you are going to complete a VCAL Pathway.
In Year 10 you choose between 10 Numeracy, 10 Pre-General and 10 Pre-Methods. You may choose Extension
Mathematics as an additional elective.
Most study and career pathways need a sound command of Maths and numeracy. Maths improves your skills in
numeracy, but develops:
• problem solving • critical thinking
• written and oral communication • reasoning
• enquiry • teamwork and leadership
• use of technology to represent data and number
Where does Mathematics lead to?
Pre-General and Pre-Methods in Year 10 are foundational to all VCE units in Mathematics, including General
Mathematics, Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics.
Year 10 Mathematics caters for those who are considering a VCAL pathway and/or students who do not wish
to continue Maths in VCE.
Other Considerations
Those considering Specialist Mathematics Unit 3 and 4 (Year 12) must complete Mathematical Methods Unit 1 and 2.
You are recommended to have completed Specialist Mathematics Unit 1 and 2 in Year 11.
Extension Maths is also highly recommended.
