Curriculum
Bundoora Secondary College is committed to the development of each and every student through its academic curriculum and its co-curriculum program. Each student is encouraged to participate in a rich curriculum program, which provides opportunities for leadership, community participation and contribution and physical and intellectual challenges which all contribute to the establishment and growth of the individual. The academic success of Bundoora students is a testament to the work done by the staff at the college. In 2011 the dux of the college achieved an ATAR of 98.4.
Bundoora's curriculum provides preparation for all students to gain the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). Bundoora's curriculum is comprehensive and tailored to maximise the opportunity for each student to undertake tertiary level study or further training.
Students in Year 10 will have the opportunity to access VCE studies, while students in year 12 have the opportunity to be enrolled in university units. In particular students in year 12 have access to two university subjects. One is in the Exercise Science stream, the other in Nursing. Both of these subjects contribute to the ATAR score, are HECs free and will provide credits towards a university degree in each of the two identified pathways. This opportunity is available only at Bundoora Secondary College.

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)
