Upper Yarra Secondary College is located in the Yarra Valley, about 65 km east of Melbourne, Australia in the state of Victoria. About 600 students from Years 7 to 12 attend UYSC. Students enrol in the school, coming from thirteen different Primary Schools.
UYSC offers a wide range of academic subjects, leading into tertiary education. We also recognise that many students prefer a curriculum with a practical or vocational focus.
In years 8 and 9, students follow their areas of interest by selecting from a range of electives tied into the major areas of the Arts, Physical (Outdoor) Education, Technology, LOTE, SOSE (Marine Biology) and Science (Forensic).
This leads them into an extensive subject selection in years 10 to 12 including traditional VCE as well as TAFE courses, Vocational Education Training (VET) and Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) studies. UYSC now offers School-based Apprenticeships.
