SHELFORD YEAR 10 CENTRE
OF EXCELLENCE
The Year 10 Centre of Excellence is a unique concept which meets the Vision,
Mission and Values of Shelford, and the emerging social, emotional and developmental
stages of emerging adults.
The Year 10 Centre of Excellence will enrich and extend the opportunities to
achieve Shelford’s key educational goals: a differentiated curriculum;
more specifically, and in greater depth, provide opportunities to meet individual
needs; encourage students to become independent learners and assist students
as a result of a more hands on approach to develop a global perspective.
The Curriculum of the Year 10 Centre of Excellence supports the existing upward
coupling and seamless curriculum of Shelford. It will enrich existing curriculum,
extend and enhance it, without undermining or weakening existing programs.
The Year 10 Centre of Excellence meets the requirements of VELS, VCE, and
VET while at the same time providing rich and exciting flexibility. The Curriculum
will build upon the present Year 9 Challenge Program.
Year 10 students will continue to be part of the ‘corporate whole’:
they will continue to participate in Assemblies, Chapel, GSV and the full Performing
Arts program. Shelford will continue to be a small innovative and dynamic girls’ school
committed to providing the best education for girls. Opportunities for students
to be involved in Community Service programs at a national , state and local
level will be increased.
The Year 10 Centre of Excellence will be located in St Kilda Road, and students
will have access to multiple facilities in the CBD. Partnerships with other
educational and business organizations will be developed. St Kilda Road is
the preferred site for cost, safety, easy access to CBD and partnerships.
The Year 10 Centre of Excellence commences operations in 2008 – Shelford’s
110th year.
