Academic intervention and extension.

In 2019, the College introduced a new Academic Engagement Model to bring clarity to learning support and extension programs across the College.

The new model has brought about greater intervention support for students with additional learning needs as well as quality differentiation learning and teaching in classrooms.

Enrichment and extension opportunities for students of all ages are plentiful, such as the ‘Dare Accepted’ clubs and ‘Scientist in Residence’ Program in the Junior School, as well as ‘Future Problem Solving’ and ‘World Scholar’s Cup’ in the Middle School.

We strive to meet the needs of all learners, and address the following areas to enhance individual learning:

• Academic extension and enrichment

• Gifted and Talented

• E arly intervention

• Learning difficulties

• Learning disabilities (as defined by the DDA)

• English as a Second Language or Additional Dialect

• Indigenous students

With the right levels of adjustment and support, both educationally and pastorally, students are encouraged to be independent and interdependent learners who are resilient, committed and confident in achieving their own potential.
