A New Era for Years 9 and 10: Introducing Our Vertical Curriculum
Starting in 2026, Kyabram P-12 College is proud to launch a transformative new curriculum model for our Year 9 and 10 students: the Vertical Curriculum.
This marks an exciting shift in how we support and engage learners. Instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach by year level, students will now have the opportunity to build a personalised two-year learning journey, choosing from a diverse range of subjects aligned to their skills, interests, and aspirations.
Based on a combination of teacher recommendation, student and family needs and interests and future pathways and aspirations, students will enrol in subjects at one of four Stages of Learning:
- 🏗️BUILD – for strong foundations
- 🌉BRIDGE – for guided exploration
- 🛫BROADEN – for depth and independence
- 🚨BEACON – for challenge and VCE readiness
Whether a student needs more support, is ready for more stretch, or is discovering a new interest, the Vertical Curriculum offers flexibility and structure to help them thrive.
Over the course of Years 9 and 10, students will still meet all essential curriculum requirements, while enjoying more choice than ever before.
This exciting innovation reflects our commitment to:
- Future-focused learning
- Student agency
- Pathways and support for all students
We look forward to working with students and families to co-design meaningful and challenging learning journeys as we embark on this new chapter together.
Students and their families are invited to an informative session on Monday 16 June - stay tuned for details in our socials!
