Welcome to the Senior School

Years 10–12

In our Senior School, we believe in cultivating an educational environment where each student is known, valued, and empowered to thrive. 

Grounded in evidence-based pedagogical practices, our teaching is purposeful, responsive, and designed to challenge students intellectually while supporting them holistically. As students enter Year 12, classes are often smaller and teachers are able to spend more time connecting with and teaching our senior students.

We are committed to high-impact teaching strategies that foster deep learning, critical thinking, and transferable skills for life beyond school. Our educators engage in continual professional growth to deliver lessons that are engaging, data-informed, and tailored to individual needs.

Through our pre-SACE and SACE curriculum, we prepare students for a world beyond school in which they may choose tertiary education, an apprenticeship, work, or even have a gap year and an opportunity to travel and explore.

We also offer personalised subject selection and career counselling, which involves conversations with both students and parents each year. These help to both inform and guide our students as they navigate their last years at school.

Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. We prioritise a culture of care where positive relationships, emotional resilience, and personal development are nurtured alongside academic achievement. Through a proactive and intentional wellbeing framework, we support students to flourish in a complex and changing world.

Our philosophy is simple but powerful: when teaching is excellent and students feel safe and supported, extraordinary learning happens.
