It is important for young people to gain a good understanding of all subject disciplines in order to make informed choices for their future. We place emphasis on developing the literacy, numeracy and general capabilities that are required for every learning area, therefore all teachers at our college are highly skilled literacy and numeracy teachers.
Our college week consists of classes in compulsory Australian Curriculum subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Health and Physical Education, Civics and Citizenship; and in our options program, which includes academic extension subjects, vocational enterprise, sports training, performing and visual arts and flexible and personalised learning.
We are flexible in our approach and emphasise supporting students with individual learning and personal interests, therefore we offer wide-ranging choice through our options subjects for students in Grades 8, 9 and 10, a large selection which rivals many larger high schools. Examples of options classes we offer are listed below:
My Education is a coordinated whole-school approach to career and life planning. It is a partnership between the student, parents and carers, the college and the community, and also aims to engage with business and industry in Tasmania by linking education with a student’s future employment options.
Bayview staff activate their lived experiences to engage and support students to identify their personal interests, values, strengths and aspirations, and teach them how to use this knowledge to make decisions about their future learning, work and life opportunities. The program is delivered as part of pastoral care / home group for each grade and supplemented with guest speakers, assemblies,
themed days and industry partners, who visit the college to tell their story and importantly, share their career pathway.
