The 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) underpins the SEAL program and prepares students with the skills to succeed in senior and post-secondary education.
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 for Grade 6-7/8 and Year 8-9/10: Academic Excellence, Student Leadership, Community, Sporting Excellence and The Arts. Scholarships are also available for Year 10 students to encourage and support their senior studies in the areas of mathematics, English, science and humanities.
The EIS Program develops students’ sport specific skills, knowledge, and practical application in their chosen sports of Australian rules, soccer or volleyball.
STAR is an innovative literacy and numeracy program unique to the college. This program identifies students who have the potential to become our future ‘stars’ and achieve outstanding results in Years 7 to 9.
The ACE program aims to improve the numeracy and literacy development of students who are performing below the expected level.
Students are also encouraged to engage in a myriad of extracurricular activities, including human powered vehicle, debating, student representative council, lunchtime clubs and much more.
