Year 11 Curriculum Overview

Curriculum Overview

Year 11

At Prendiville Catholic College, students can choose from a range of senior school pathways designed to support success beyond Year 12. These pathway options provide students with diverse opportunities to achieve their full potential, pursue their interests, and realise their personal goals.

The senior school pathways are:

  • Direct Entry to University – The ATAR pathway (direct entry) is for those students who are aiming for a university education beyond Prendiville and will study at least four ATAR courses.
  • Alternate Entry to University – This pathway provides students with an alternative entry route to university through either Murdoch FlexiTrack High or the completion of a Certificate IV qualification. It is designed for students who may not be best suited to a full ATAR pathway, while still providing clear opportunities for tertiary study. Murdoch FlexiTrack High is available to Year 12 students only and has specific entry requirements, details of which can be found in the Year 12 Curriculum section.
  • The FLEXed pathway is a pathway for those students who seek senior secondary education in a flexible learning environment with a focus on Business and Design. 
  • The GENERAL pathway is a General course pathway for those students who aspire to enter the workforce, TAFE or University via indirect entry.

Students in Year 11 at Prendiville Catholic College must choose 6 courses. These courses run 5 times a week in a 30 period week.  In choosing their courses students should ensure this is done in accordance with all WACE Guidelines and future post school destinations requirements. Further information is available on our website in the Curriculum section under WACE Requirements – Post School Destinations. 

Religion & Life and either English or Literature remain compulsory in Years 11 and 12.
