YCP-12 College Overview

Creating their pathway
Work Experience & Work Placement program
As part of the Year 10 curriculum, all Year 10 students participate in one week’s work experience.
Students can select an accelerated learning option as part of their studies, accessing VCE, VET and
TAFE subjects. Alternatively they can undertake the Work Placement Program which enables them
to work one day each week with an employer.
Kokoda Leadership Program
Every two years a team of 10 students and 2 staff travel to Papua New Guinea and undertake a
nine-day Australian Guide led trek along the Kokoda Track. This program is aimed at developing
leadership skills, historical and cultural awareness of PNG and the battle that took place along the
Kokoda Track. Students become ambassadors for our College, providing high level speaking and
other duties that represent the College in the Anzac tradition, formulating a strong pathway to our
Year 12 student leadership program.
Year 11 and 12
Students have the option to complete a VCE or VCAL certificate with a wide range of subject
options. VCE provides an ATAR score and pathway to further study at University, whilst VCAL
provides a hands-on approach and vocational approach to learning with a pathway towards
employment, apprenticeships and some TAFE courses.
Vocational Education and Training
YCP12 provides a number of opportunities for students to complete a VET/TAFE certificate. These
include: Building and Construction, Engineering, Sport & Recreation, VET- Music, Hospitality,
Beauty, Allied Health and access to further courses through local TAFE providers.
