Year 10 at Newman Catholic College is a transformative year, marking a pivotal phase in the secondary schooling journey. During this time, students are encouraged to take important steps in shaping their future, beginning to explore their career and life aspirations while considering the pathways that best align with their unique talents, interests, and goals. At Newman Catholic College, we offer a diverse range of pathways and programs designed to help students identify their strengths, discover their passions, and make well-informed decisions about their subject choices and post-schooling options.

This stage of learning is also about stepping up to new challenges and opportunities, building on the foundations laid in earlier years. Year 10 students are supported and encouraged to embrace their growing independence, develop a sense of accountability, and engage meaningfully with the world around them. This maturation process is underpinned by our commitment to fostering individuals who embody our Catholic values and who are equipped to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Central to our approach is the legacy of Saint John Henry Newman, whose relentless pursuit of truth inspires us to develop critical thinkers and discerning individuals. In Year 10, students are challenged to navigate the complexities of modern life, developing the capacity to filter through a constant stream of content and information. Through problem-solving tasks, critical thinking exercises, and collaborative projects, students learn how to identify what is true, assess situations thoughtfully, and approach challenges with innovation and integrity.

This year also offers opportunities for personal growth, as students reflect on who they are and who they want to become. They are guided to think beyond themselves, considering how they can positively impact their community and the world at large. Whether through service, leadership, or creativity, Year 10 students begin to see themselves as active contributors to society, developing a sense of purpose and a readiness to make meaningful contributions to their future endeavours.

At Newman Catholic College, we recognise the significance of Year 10 as a formative chapter in our students’ lives. Through tailored learning experiences, supportive guidance, and a focus on both academic and personal development, we prepare our students to face the challenges of senior schooling and beyond with confidence, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to truth.
