Building responsible, resilient and capable young people.

We differentiate to ensure every student is challenged at the right level. For students ready to stretch further, our Learning Enhancement program offers extension, acceleration and enrichment beyond the standard curriculum.

Academic enhancement across the years

• Year 7 Learning Program allows fluidity across ability groups, with small-group literacy enhancement.
• Year 9 offers English and Mathematics extension, plus a whole-cohort student learning profile test (verbal, numerical, abstract and spatial reasoning). The profile informs Year 10 course selection and a round of one-to-one counselling.
• Year 10 Advanced Mathematics prepares students for the harder VCE Mathematics studies.
• VCE acceleration: eligible Year 10 and Year 11 students may take an accelerated VCE Unit 3–4 study, often in Mathematics, as a sixth subject contributing to ATAR.
