Safe and Caring Learning Environment.
…..There is a clear commitment by the college community to help in helping students develop their self-esteem, in-
crease resilience, move towards increased levels of independence and be well prepared for the next phase of life. All
students, staff and parents are committed to supporting individuals to strive for their personal best.

…..Mutual respect between staff, students, parents and community members is always evident. The relationships re-
flect a more mature approach as would be expected in a college catering for young adults. There is an emphasis on
early intervention to maximise student attendance, participation, achievement and retention.

Technology Centred Learning.
A sophisticated level of technological learning is available in all learning areas, both across the college opportunity
and from home and gives students access to worldwide educational resources. Student learning is aligned with con-
temporary society needs with a strong emphasis on developing analytical and problem-solving skills and provides
the foundations for lifelong learning. The college’s modern resources and facilities ensure that the educational op-
portunities provided are of the highest quality.

Excellence in Teaching

and relevant learning experiences in a variety of contexts and through the development of technology. Their plan-
ning delivers an integrated and relevant curriculum across all Learning Areas. The staff culture is a strong role

Community
Our strong involvement in community partnerships provides students the opportunities for real-life learning, ena-
bling our students to be engaged in relevant, meaningful and enterprising learning experiences. The community is
providing opportunities for learning both by sharing their expertise directly as part of the school curriculum or in
context outside the classroom.
