Introduction

Mater Christi College’s learning program in Years 11 and 12 is aimed at supporting students to develop the confidence, knowledge, skills, and values to successfully learn and grow, as they move through to the next phase of their education and development.

It is recognised that the world is undergoing rapid economic, environmental, and social changes because of accelerating globalisation and technological development. Education needs to prepare students for jobs that have yet to be created, for technologies yet to be invented and to solve problems yet to be anticipated.

The Foundation for Young Australians has conducted extensive research in the ‘New Work Order.’ The findings of these studies have identified the following skills that school leavers require to be able to obtain a job of the future: communication collaboration

• critical thinking creativity

The school curricula at Mater Christi College continually evolves to provide students with the opportunity to develop these job ready skills, in addition to the academic knowledge required for satisfactory completion of senior secondary schooling. Students are also provided with ongoing career planning advice and counselling to ensure they are on the correct pathway for future success.

The Years 11 and 12 Curriculum Guide provides a general introduction to the various pathways and courses of study offered at Mater Christi College. It includes information to assist students to make pathway and subject choices that enable them to achieve their future study and career goals
