International students can access primary studies, junior secondary studies, and the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education.
Outcomes
Graduates are prepared to be collaborative problem-solvers equipped to make positive contributions to their local, national, and global communities. The school emphasizes the development of good judgment, character, and service to others. Senior students have the pathway to undertake the Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations in Year 12.

Learning support
