The Senior Years at St George College empower students to achieve their personal best while preparing for life beyond the classroom. With individualised pathways, dedicated teachers, and a strong partnership with families, students are supported to pursue their ambitions with confidence and purpose. Explore how we can help your child achieve their goals.
Our flexible and student driven curriculum, supportive staff and extensive resources provides our Senior students in Years 9 to 12 with the springboard for success.
At this sensitive age of emerging adulthood, a time when students wish to exercise greater independence and individuality, we know that a strong and supportive partnership between home and school is imperative.
That’s why at St George College we endeavour to work with families in giving every student the guidance and reassurance they need in these critical years of adult development. Although Year 12 is arguably the most important year in a student’s academic career, we understand that Years 9 and 10 are vital in setting the tone for success.
Our Year 10 students are given the opportunity to undertake selected courses that are accredited towards the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).
Student Leadership
In keeping with the proud ethos and culture of our College, our Senior School students are encouraged to contribute to our community through the Student Representative Council, Peer Mentoring Program and participation in college events.
SACE
The curriculum which is set by the South Australian Certificate of Education Board (SACE Board) is divided into Stage 1 (Year 11) and Stage 2 (Year 12). In supporting our students to meet the SACE Board completion requirements, we offer:
- Student-centered subject choice in completing SACE with a focus on entrance to University, TAFE or employment
- Individualised career planning service
- Skilled and experienced senior secondary educators
- School holiday workshops
- Flexible learning time for Year 12 students
- Opportunities to study VET units in areas of their choice – qualifying for dual accreditation towards SACE and further tertiary studies
In addition to the standard curriculum, student learning is supported by the Learning Support and Extension program.
