Senior School (Yr 11 – 12)

At the start of Senior School our students step into a new learning adventure and bravely decide how best to use the gifts and talents that God has given them. Our graduates will have the opportunity to develop and equip their minds, cultivate a heart that serves others and apply their hands to building skills and capabilities according to their God-given gifts and interests. Our Senior School curriculum offers rigour, innovation and flexibility enabling our graduates to develop their full academic, personal, moral, and spiritual potential.

What does this look like?

At this time in their lives students have a great desire for identity and independence. Our Secondary students are provided with an educational setting that allows them to expand their personal and intellectual development as they progress towards SACE completion. We seek to ensure our graduates are inspired to explore their faith and spiritual values which will empower them in the years ahead to make ethical choices and meaningful differences as stewards of the world that God has created.
