senior secondary

Calvin students in Year 11 and 12 have an excellent record of high achievement. Students are encouraged to take a more independent approach to organisation and learning. Students are given the opportunity to prepare for University as well as participate in Vocational and Workplace Training

Completion of Tasmanian Assessment Standards and Certification (TASC) accredited courses allow students to attain their Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) to allow them entry to Universities around Australia.

Students may also undertake Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses offered by Calvin or other external providers.

Year 11 and 12 is a time of increasing personal growth and independence. Each year, our Year 11 and 12 students spend time away deepening their relationships with one another, their understanding of themselves, and their relationship with God.

The Year 11 and 12 Camp is a balanced time of team activity, including obstacles courses, abseiling and sunrise beach visits, as well as some time to chat and connect.

At Calvin, we believe that education is enriched beyond the four walls of the classroom and that camps are an opportunity for transformation and growth for our students.
