The Year 11 and 12 curriculum is modelled around the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). Students undertake Stage 1 subjects (usually at Year 11) and Stage 2 subjects (usually at Year 12) that the College is offering and that align with the requirements of the SACE. Some students undertake courses of study that are brokered out to other educational institutions or training providers such as Open Access College, School and Beyond and TAFEs.
The measure of the success of our programs of learning can be seen in the skills and attributes of students leaving our community. Students are challenged and in turn equipped to be collaborators and critical thinkers who are effective communicators, respectful of others perspectives and opinions. Compassionate, confident and resilient, students leave our community with the capacity to positively influence the wider community and be of service to others.
