At Coburg High School, we offer a highly structured curriculum with comprehensive and viable subject pathways accessible through our online curriculum (COGS). Below is a snapshot of how the curriculum interface appears to students when they log into the school COGS portal:
There are three overarching stages of learning that students progress through:
- Years 7 & 8—Breadth Curriculum: we teach and learn the full range of subjects in the Victorian Curriculum, develop critical and creative thinking skills, build strong ethical and intercultural capabilities, and explore and discover new talents and interests
- Years 9 & 10—Pathways Curriculum: we engage in an even wider ranging curriculum, while beginning to specialise in particular subject areas
- Years 11 & 12—Either
- Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE): increasing independence and subject specialisation (some VET available)
OR - Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE VM): vocational and applied learning program allowing students to pursue their strengths and interests needed to succeed in further education, work and life (no ATAR received and VET studies are compulsory)
This is a sample of the school-designed curriculum interface that students use at Coburg High School.
