Empowering students with the skills, knowledge, and supportthey need to succeed
The Later Years program at Bannockburn P-12 College is designed to empower students with the skills, knowledge, and support they need for success beyond school. The vertical Homegroup structure fosters a strong house culture while promoting meaningful peer connections and a supportive environment. This structure ensures that students feel safe to express themselves and benefit from a consistent homegroup teacher. During Homegroup sessions, students engage with the Victorian Governments Respectful Relationships curriculum, developing essential skills in stress management, conflict resolution, and help-seeking. This program empowers students to build healthy, respectful relationships and navigate social challenges with confidence.
With a strong focus on careers and future pathways, our Careers Advisor works closely with students to explore their options and support a successful transition from school to the workplace. In Year 10, students participate in a dedicated Work Experience Week, providing them with valuable firsthand insight into potential career pathways. Year 12 students benefit from an individual mentor, who provides guidance on academic progress and goal setting. This unique program ensures students are supported both academically and personally throughout their final year of studies.
A key aspect of the Later Years program is that students are able to choose from a variety of electives and allows programs for educational advancement and challenge. Year 10 students are provided the opportunity to engage with a Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Unit 1 & 2 subject, a Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate or a subject through the Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES). This provides the opportunity, at Year 11, for a Unit 3 & 4 subject, complete their VET or proceed into Higher Education Studies (HES) at various universities which will all add value to the final results achieved as they complete Year 12.
