 Careers Enrichment
Learning
about careers is a life-long and life wide journey. Careers enrichment is
integrated across school life in preparation for students' active
participation in the knowledge society. All students are encouraged to
critically reflect upon their learning strengths and areas for development.
The course planning/subject selection process that students undertake in
preparation for their studies in Years 9 through to 12 is structured and
guided.
Students
are encouraged to access a diversity of resources available from the
Careers Centre.
Partnering
students in their post compulsory education decision making process is best
facilitated when students, the school and parents engage in the
conversation of possibilities and opportunities in their learning journey.

Cultural exchange
We live in a global community, we seek opportunities to explore the
cultures of other parts of the world. This can occur through student
exchange, and the celebration of the diverse cultures of our community. We
have an established connection with school communities in Papua New Guinea, Japan and we are currently developing links with a school in China. We seek opportunities to organise trips to Europe to enhance the language development of our
LOTE students in Year 10, 11 and 12. Also, on occasion we plan trips to
other significant parts of the world to extend and enhance our curriculum.
In 2008 a group of students and staff went to Vietnam and in 2009 we are
planning a community trip to Egypt.
Special Events
Students are invited to participate in a number of special events
throughout their time in the senior school. These formal occasions are held
with staff and/or parents to celebrate commitment to House, Rowing,
Snowsports and Sport in general. A significant part of the yearly calendar
is the Year 11 and the Year 12 formal, and the various functions held in
conjunction with the Parents Association.
