Excellence in Sport Program.
The Scholarship program promotes and recognises outstanding commitment by school students who have displayed a strong involvement in their school community. Scholarships are available in the following areas: Academic Excellence, Student Leadership, Community, Sporting Excellence and The Arts.
The Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) Program, provides a focussed educational environment for academically oriented students. SEAL classes incorporate a fast-paced curriculum, with less repetition than mainstream classes.
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), the only program of its kind in Geelong, underpins the SEAL program and prepares students with the skills to succeed in senior and post secondary education.
Strive to Achieve Results (STAR) is an innovative Literacy and Numeracy program unique to our college. This program identifies students who have the potential to become our future ‘stars’ and achieve outstanding results in Years 7 to 9.
The Achieving Core Education (ACE) program aims to improve the numeracy and literacy development of students who are performing below the expected level
The Excellence in Sport (EIS) Program develops students’ sport specific skills, knowledge and practical application in their chosen sports of Australian Rules football, soccer or volleyball.
The transition from primary to secondary school is seamless for our year 7 students. In grade 6 all students are invited to the College early in the year for a ‘taste’ of secondary school and then later in the year there is a specialised two day program that allows students to develop new friendships and familiarise themselves with their new surroundings. Students start the secondary school year with confidence.
