CURRICULUM

We are proud to offer a fully integrated curriculum to all students in Years 9  to Year 12. In Year 13 we offer module based learning to allow a wide range of subjects to be studied or to allow the focus to be narrowed to a small range. 

The most recent ERO report stated that: ‘the college provides a highly supportive and inclusive environment where girls have a strong sense of pride and belonging. ‘Students are well engaged in their learning and the wider school community. The effective transition practices that help to settle students into the school on arrival set a sound basis for student learning. Ongoing monitoring of student wellbeing contributes to students’ ongoing success. Students show confidence and pride in their language, culture and identity, and are motivated to achieve success.’
