Senior students are educated where the overarching focus is on teaching students self-reliance and responsibility to help students achieve long-term success, well beyond their secondary education. Secondary students have subject choices aligned to the SACE pattern of subjects. The school is regarded for its academic achievements within the senior school over the years, with many exiting students moving onto an academic learning journey. VET and other learning pathway alternatives, remain a focus for the school.
