Year 7-10 subschool

The 7-10 sub school caters for the needs of a diverse range of students across Australia and overseas who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to access mainstream schooling.

We place a strong emphasis on pastoral care with every student allocated a pastoral care teacher who fosters high expectations for learning and provides a caring and supportive environment in which the student can achieve success.

 


ENROLMENT OFFICE

Years 7 & 8 students follow a core curriculum designed to support and extend their creativity, literacy and numeracy. In Years 9 and 10 there are core subjects plus a comprehensive elective program.

Students learn in different ways and our courses endeavour to provide opportunities for students to learn according to their preferred learning style. All materials are available online, on CD and in print form.

As well as providing a flexible and comprehensive curriculum which utilises learning technologies, we can provide programs to cater for individual needs.
