Learning
Our college follows the NSW curriculum and we create a learning environment that is supportive, inclusive and focused on student growth. Every student is valued and encouraged to build confidence through meaningful learning.
Our broad range of subjects and engaging teaching methods help students build skills and reach their potential. We aim to develop creative thinkers, problem-solvers and lifelong learners.
Our learning approach
Learning at our college is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access, supporting all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven strategies and take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our approach includes:
- real-world learning through hands-on activities, group work and exploring ideas
- using technology to support learning, personalise lessons and build digital skills
- giving students the right support with flexible teaching and a focus on wellbeing
- connecting with the community through excursions and local programs.
Beyond the classroom - see how our students extend their learning through our co-curricular programs, events, excursions and other opportunities.
What students learn
Students learn a wide range of subjects in the NSW curriculum. They build skills, think creatively and prepare for life beyond school.
The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is responsible for the curriculum, Kindergarten to Year 12, for all NSW Schools.
For the high school years, NESA develops syllabuses for all subjects in eight key learning areas:
- Creative Arts
- English
- Human Society and its Environment (HSIE)
- Languages
- Mathematics
- Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)
- Science
- Technology and Applied Studies (TAS)
We have implemented teaching and learning programs to suit our local context and the needs of our students, partnering with local businesses and TAFE. These include:
- School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships
- VET subjects

At our school, we give the right support to help advanced or talented learners grow and do their best.
We notice these students early. They may learn quickly or show strong skills in creativity, leadership, problem solving or sport. We help them stay challenged with lessons and activities that match their strengths.
