Wayne Axford
Canning College Principal
Our commitment to helping students achieve entry into leading universities started in 1982 when Canning College led
the way as one of the first international education providers in Australia. Since then, we have continued to expand a
supportive learning environment that has guided thousands of international students towards their career goals.
In 2020, we faced a new challenge as borders were closed and people around the world adapted to unusual
circumstances.
The health and wellbeing of our students was our immediate priority and our staff implemented measures to ensure
the young people with us on campus felt safe and supported. It was also critical that we were able to continue to deliver
programs to those students who had enrolled with us but who were unable to travel to Perth.
As a result, our teaching staff created a new approach that allowed students overseas to join their on-campus
classmates in daily lessons using web conferencing and other digital tools. A survey conducted in September 2020
revealed that 96% of online students were satisfied with the quality of learning materials and resources provided,
confirming the success of our remote learning programs. By offering programs face-to-face and online, new students
were able to continue their studies and ensure they would not have to delay university entry.
In the immediate future, Canning College will continue to offer programs to students on campus and online with a
sincere hope that travel restrictions will be lifted soon and students will again be able to travel to Perth. We are proud of
our remote learning programs but a genuine international education experience is made complete by living and learning
here in Perth.
Over the years, Canning graduates have been widely recognised for their academic achievements at leading universities
and many alumni hold highly regarded positions across various industries. We expect this record of success to continue
into the future as a result of our ongoing commitment to quality teaching, pastoral care, academic guidance and support
services, which result in rich and rewarding student experiences. The College is frequently visited by past students,
many of whom choose to send their own children to Canning so that they too can benefit from a vibrant international
education experience. I know that the events of 2020 resulted in a more cautious approach to many things but believe
the period of reflection has served us all well.
Now is the time to return to international education ambitions and to reach for the goals that may have been
put on hold.
I encourage you to find your future with us at Canning College.
