Knowing that learners thrive within a culture of choice, students at Year 9 are introduced to specialisation within the comfort of a core learning area, then becoming increasingly individualised from Year 10. The Vertical Curriculum is a notion that supports the autonomy of students to have choice about their options and undertake learning that is in line with their ability and their interests. Students who have this ownership over the decisions they make are more likely to embrace their journey and invest in their own lifelong learning. The flexibility of the Vertical Curriculum is targeted and makes learning relevant and purposeful.
