The ECC pathway is designed for students who are capable of university study, but who are not suited to ATAR or may not meet pre-requisites to study a full ATAR load in Year 12.
Students will progress to ECC’s Diploma if they achieve a minimum 50% in four Year 12 WACE courses, plus a pass (C grade) in English.
