Curriculum
 


      Galen is a learning community committed to offering a curriculum that provides students with the values, skills and knowledge to live confidently in a rapidly changing global and technological environment.

Galen's curriculum is based upon :

a belief in Christian values

a committment that all students have talents and gifts to develop

a desire to extend each student to achieve their potential

an offering of a range of formal courses and extra-curriculum activities

We aim to develop young people who are confident, happy and assured, have a concern for others, live according to gospel values and have extended their abilities through social, academic and physical opportunities offered by our curriculum.

Galen recognises that the world our young people will inherit will be one where they will need to be :

flexible and adaptive

concerned about environmental and social justice issues

continually learning and updating their skills

willing to adapt new technologies

Through our formal class based studies and extra-curriculum activities we believe that Galen students reflect our motto as young people of 'faith and integrity'.

 

Curriculum Structure :

Galen courses are based upon the Victorian Curriculum and Standards Framework II guidelines

Religious Education is central to our studies and is compulsory at all year levels.

Year 7 is seen as a transition year with all students undertaking studies in all Key Learning Areas.

An elective programme is phased in through Years 8, 9 and 10

At the Senior level, Years 11 and 12, an extensive range of :

Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE),

Vocational Education and Training (VET), and

Victorian Certificate in Applied Learning (VCAL)

offer opportunities for a range of student interests and abilities.
