Curriculum
Year 7 Subjects
In Year 7 all students follow a common course of study and stay in Home Groups for all classes. The Curriculum follows the design laid out in the Victorian Curriculum to run over a 2 year period.
The Curriculum for Year 7 has been designed to provide all students with a solid foundation across the 8 Essential Learning Areas: English, Mathematics, Science, Health & Physical Education, Language, Humanities, Arts and Design/Technology.
Students in the Year 7 SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) class will be accelerated through English, Maths, Humanities and Science. Entry to this program is by testing and interview. For further information please click the link below.
The MYLNS initiative (Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy Support), is a state government funded initiative that, provides intensive teaching suppport to government secondary school students who are at risk of finishing school wihtout the literacy and numeracy skills they need for future work and study.
Students who are priorities have been identified through Naplan results and teacher judgement. At BCC, in 2024, students in Years 8, 9 and 10, identified to receive MYLNS support, will have a second specialist teacher in their English and Maths classes. Students in the MYLNS classes, in Years 8, will also receive an extra Literacy and Numeracy class a week to build on skills to support Maths capabilities.
