¨      In Year 10 the students also have Career Education lessons as part of their curriculum. As part of this program Year 10 students undertake Vocational Testing by the educational consultants, Robert Allwell & Associates. These tests identify personal strengths and interests and assist students in making career choices and in selecting subjects for H.S.C. study.

 

¨      A central part of the Religious Education Curriculum enables Year 10 students to be involved in a community service program.  This program provides Year 10 students with the opportunity to contribute their time and energy to working with Senior Citizens in the community.

 

¨      After the School Certificate in November, Year 10 students participate in a Foundation Program. This program has a focus on preparing the students for Senior Studies. Students who are leaving school participate in a Student Leavers Program and a work experience program.

 

¨      Year 10 students have a Graduation Mass to mark the conclusion of their Junior Secondary Education at Marian and a Formal to mark the end of compulsory education as a number of students leave at the end of Year 10 to pursue employment, apprenticeships and TAFE options.
