Alternate HSC Pathways
At St Philip's Christian College Cessnock we understand that every student learns differently — that is why we have created an innovative range of unique Year 11 and 12 pathways. As students enter Year 11 and 12, they are thinking about where they're heading after school. For some it will be off to work or further training; for others it will be university. St Philip's Christian College Cessnock's pathways set students up for success now and in the future — providing a culture of customisable enjoyable learning and career opportunities in which catapult students in the right direction.
Distance courses are available upon request in consultation with the Director of Studies and Head of Senior School.
