Curriculum
Vaucluse College provided secondary education for girls between Years 7-12 including VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education). The teaching was primarily performed by a mixed sex staff supplemented by a small number of Sisters from the FCJ convent on campus.
Students at the college benefited from a very broad curriculum that covered five main fields of study: Science, Arts, Humanities, Business and Sport.
Within these streams the following subjects were taught at a senior level:
- Science: Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (including both specialist and non-specialist subjects).
- Arts: Drama, Music, Art (including Textiles and Ceramics).
- Humanities: English, English Literature, Social Studies, Religious Education, French and Italian.
- Business: Economics, Legal Studies, Accounting and Computing.
- Sport: Physical Education and Health.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
