Headstart Program

The Headstart Program is a new initiative that the college has launched where students from Year 7 to 11 commence the new school year late in November (25 November in 2013). The program lasts for 3 weeks with studies resulting in an assessment task/outcome.

A feature of the school is the SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) program.
