Senior years pathway

Study pathways

Students on the university study pathway are aiming to achieve SACE completion and an ATAR for university. Students on a Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathway are aiming to achieve SACE completion and/or may begin VET. Christianity, Careers and Personal Planning (CCAPP) is a core subject at all year levels and is not SACE assessed.

Past graduates have found their Emmaus education has made them well equipped for further studies at university and they are now working or studying in a wide range of career areas. Links with vocational trainers enable the College to provide a variety of quality VET (Vocational Educational Training) courses, which have assisted students to enter a wide range of vocational courses, apprenticeships and employment.

Career Pathway guidance is provided at all three year levels to assist students to explore viable career options and to provide information to assist their decision making.
