Future ME is a vital subject designed to support students as they transition into the senior years of schooling. Building on the foundations laid in Year 9, Future Me in Year 10 focuses on future readiness, personal responsibility, and informed decision-making. It helps students gain clarity about their interests, values, and strengths while equipping them with the tools to take control of their academic and personal journeys.
