Our curriculum is broad and varied and is not just subjects studied in the classroom: Student Well Being Program, Sport, Outdoor Education, ICT and SPACE (Scotch Performing Arts Co-curricular Enrichment) are all areas that add intrinsic value to the offerings that our students can experience.
The subject offering is very diverse, where a student can study Agriculture, Design, Dance and Technology and still be studying traditional subjects like Mathematics and Science.
Our focus on excellence is where we want every student to strive for their best and to achieve excellence in terms of personal and academic excellence.
Curriculum in both the Middle School and Senior College caters for individual differences. Individual Programming allows students to be involved with a singing career and still complete SACE.
Vocational subjects are offered to our students from Year 10 – 12 through an organization called Quality Lincs. There are currently students studing: Horticulture, Electro Technology, Hospitality Operations, Vehicle Sales, Bar Courses, Construction, Childcare, Fashion Design, Automotive Technology and Kitchen Operations.
