Curriculum

Our committed and professional staff aim to provide a quality education, supporting students to achieve their first life choices upon completion of their secondary education. We’re committed to making a difference in our teaching and learning, and have a shared, cohesive approach to program planning, assessment and reporting. To that end we offer a range of subjects that cater for students in terms of academic, vocational, and social development.

We value the capabilities of critical thinking and problem solving and strive to offer opportunities where students can develop these attributes in meaningful ways, in line with the prescribed curricula.

Course counselling for 2024

Students are encouraged to work with parents and carers and Community Leaders to plan carefully for their chosen pathway and to consider studying subjects at a higher level where appropriate. Commencing SACE subjects at year 10 is highly recommended. It’s extremely important that lines of communication remain open between students, families and Community staff. Please contact Community Leaders with any questions or concerns.
