PACE21

At Bundoora Secondary College, the PACE21 program (Passion, Achievement, Choice & Empowerment for 21st Century Skills) offers students a flexible and engaging pathway through the middle years of schooling.

Guided by dedicated PAL (Pathways & Learning) mentors, students design their own learning journey, choosing from a wide array of core subjects, deep learning electives, and specialist options. The curriculum emphasizes inquiry, project-based learning, and real-world experiences, while supporting each student’s personal growth and future aspirations. Early access to VCE, VET, and workplace learning is encouraged, ensuring every learner is empowered to build the skills and confidence needed for senior studies and beyond.
