In 2024, Geelong High School will be further extending opportunities for students to accelerate by introducing a Year 7 Accelerated Learning Program.
Whilst the new program will cater specifically for students graduating from Grade 6 and starting secondary school in 2024, the school has a long track record of acceleration in one or two subjects starting from Year 9 that the program hopes to build on.
Last year our top two VCE students both scored in the top 2 percent in the state and had made the most of opportunities to accelerate across Year 9 and into senior school. Both are now studying at the University of Melbourne in their preferred courses.
The new Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) in Year 7 will offer students the opportunity to join a class that will face extra challenge and extension in the core subjects of Maths, Science, English and Humanities, while still enjoying the full breadth of a rich curriculum.
Further information and application forms can be found on our school website for interested families.
Geelong High School also offers all students the chance to challenge themselves and build on their strengths by continuing to maintain its rich tradition of extra-curricular activities and a wide range of subjects. Students can sign up for peripatetic music lessons, inter-school sports teams, debating, Student Representative Council, House leadership roles, the Girls Voice Forum, Hands on Learning, Anime Club and arts groups to name a few.
The school production also involves over 60 students each year and is a fantastic opportunity to fully engage in school life.
Families can learn more about the range of subjects offered by visiting our website.
Applications for the Year 7 Accelerated Learning Program are due to close on August 4 for students who are already accepted into the school or who reside in our zone.
