Coburg 10-12 (VCE VM)

At BYCS Coburg we offer a VCE Vocational Major program for students in Years 11 and 12. Students are supported by their Home Group teacher, our whole-school wellbeing team and careers advisors, and access mentoring through the INLLEN (Inner Northern Local Learning and Employment Network) Vocational Mentoring Exchange.

All students take part in a VCE Vocational Major program, including VET studies based primarily in our onsite trade workshops (Automotive, Building and Construction, Furniture Making and Hospitality). Students undertake study in Literacy Skills, Numeracy Skills, Personal Development Skills, and Work Related Skills, and undertake VET studies in their chosen fields. Students may also choose to personalise their own program with the addition of art therapy or industry work placements.

BYCS Coburg’s Year 10 program caters for young people from the local area who prefer applied learning opportunities, and who intend to study enrol in the VCE Vocational Major. The program is full-time (9am-3pm, Monday to Friday) program which is aligned to the Victorian Curriculum, but which allows for far more practical, hands-on and experiential learning opportunities than a traditional neighbourhood school provides.
