Senior School Curriculum
Equipping for the Future
The Senior School aims to prepare students for life, not just a living. Students are led to further understand their special interests and gifts and to develop necessary skills and knowledge for a successful future. They are guided to build on an understanding of God’s love and are challenged to seek God’s plans and purpose for their lives.
Learning occurs in formal class situations and in a variety of extra activities. Students develop a greater role in decision making and leadership in different settings.
Core subjects such as Work Education in Years 10 and 11 and Exit Preparation in Year 12 provide students with vocational learning, career education and life skills. Applied Christian Studies forms part of the College’s extensive program that encourages Christian living and community service.
