Subject and Program Guides for 2025 will be available soon!

At Notre Dame College, we provide a broad based and innovative curriculum which aims to develop the intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social aspects of every student. While engendering a love of learning, we also encourage each student to strive to reach their full potential.

It is important to note that the subject areas listed reflect the College's current curriculum; we regularly review our curriculum so changes may occur from year to year. Elective subject offerings are subject to student choice, student numbers and staff expertise and may alter from semester to semester and year to year.

Daborra

The name ‘Daborra’ has been chosen to reflect the connection to land and country that the Year 9 outdoor learning experience provides. Daborra is held during Term 1 in various Victorian locations, which may include Anglesea, Cathedral Ranges, Gembrook, Murray River and Lake Eildon. It is a highlight of College life, with the memories treasured well beyond graduation day.

Daborra along with the varied electives available, helps students to work towards developing resilience, a sense of identity, self-worth, excitement and direction.

Subject Selections

Subject Selections are an exciting time for students to create a personalised program tailored to their interests, areas of strength and ambitions.

At Notre Dame College we are committed to support our students make a successful transition to life beyond school, be that further study, training or employment. The Subject and Program Guides provide a comprehensive guide to the broad range of subjects available at Notre Dame College - including a great range of vocational options for senior students.

The subject selection process requires careful consideration by students with the support of parents/guardians and careers advisors at the college. Families are encouraged to attend the subject selection evenings and access information provided in the various course guides on the college website.
