Senior School

The College is registered and accredited with NESA - NSW Education Standards Authority for delivering the Higher School Certificate (HSC). We are committed to the achievement of quality learning outcomes

We run programs for all levels of academic need whether they are gifted and talented to those who need learning support to achieve in the classroom. We have specialist staff in both these areas. We have a full time trained College Counsellor who is able to work with individual students who need support. The values we teach are Christ centred and attitudes come through every day in all that we teach.
