to expose them to new challenges. Our Talented
and Gifted Program offers extension in two areas:

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.

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.
