Living Academy will offer a variety of Year 11 and Year 12 Stage 6 NESA courses with flexibility.
With a Year 13, students choose to complete the mandatory 22 units over 3 years to enable other external courses or interests to be pursued, whether they are university courses, passion projects, links to enterprise or connections to mentorships in the community.
Living Academy engineers a unique and progressive developmental pathway to engage students, expanding the traditional two-year academic pathway into a three-year, holistic program to allow for an individual’s inner focus to be coupled social connection, a community and an increased maturity.
The HSC (to gain an ATAR) is not the only way to gain entry
A Year 13 enables the space and time to fully develop academic, vocational, emotional and societal capabilities.
Stretching the HSC study across three years, using the third senior year to pursue alternative pathways, allows for more meaningful, contemporary and less pressured and stressful completion of school life.
