Learning Enrichment

Academically gifted students are exposed to a variety of learning experiences that are designed to expose them to new challenges. Our Talented and Gifted Program offers extension in two areas: Maths and Science, and Society & Environment and English. Excellence is promoted in a broad range of academic fields. For instance, the College has a tradition of all Year 8 students participating in the annual English Speaking Board examinations.

Students with special needs are well catered for under the guidance of the Head of Learning Enrichment and Support. This department is supported by Teaching Assistants who are available to support classroom teachers. The students' particular learning styles are accommodated and participation in all activities is encouraged.

We also offer individualised and small group programs for students who require additional support in literacy and numeracy.

In recognition of our striving for excellence, Academic Scholarships are awarded each year both to our incoming Year 8 students and to those entering Year 11. In addition, Aboriginal Scholarships are awarded to students entering Year 8.
