Literacy, numeracy and ICT are integrated into the teaching and learning program, and a wide range of VCE and VET studies are offered to our senior students, including VCE VM provision, and access to School Based Apprenticeships.

Our College operates in Learning Communities (Year 7 & 8, Year 9, and Years 10-12) to ensure the development of all students, academically and socially.
We believe that quality relationships based on inclusiveness and mutual respect between parents, teachers and students are the key to us achieving our purpose.
