Senior Education and Training (SET)

Plan Process

During Year 10 students begin work on

their SET Plans.

Time and resources are given to

students to research various

occupations, industry and educational

pathways.

A student’s interests, abilities and

ambitions are taken into account when

making decisions regarding the senior

phase of learning.

Students need to consider their futures

based on their abilities and their

research into career options.

A SET Plan interview occurs during Term

3 between the Year 10 student, their

parent/carer and a school staff member.

SET Plans can be updated by the student

at any time whilst they are a Senior

School student.

Tertiary Entrance Pathway Guidance

The school holds a Pathways Expo

every year in Term 2. Students from

Years 10, 11 and 12 attend the Expo

to engage with representatives from

universities, training organisations

and employment organisations.

Year 11 and 12 is a two year

course. Students gain formative

knowledge and skills in Year 11

which is applied in Year 12

summative assessment.
