Wodonga Senior Secondary College’s Student Agency program empowers students to take responsibility for their learning- becoming independent and self-regulating learners. The timetable reflects scheduled times for students to practice ‘Student Agency’ every day from 3.00-3.25pm AND every Friday during period 3 & 4. Activities that students can participate in during these times are advertised via the School Portal to enable students to prepare, and for parents/carers to have conversations with their child about how they are utilizing the time.

Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC)

The Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) is an inclusive certificate that provides an enriched curriculum and excellent support for students to develop the skills, capabilities and qualities for success in personal and civic life.  Students enrolled in the VPC will receive a support program designed to transition them to suitable work. Students can enrol in the VPC in Year 10, 11 or 12. The VPC can be a pathway into the VCE.

Discussions about enrolment in the VPC will be had with the student and families upon enrolment to the College.
