To enable strong learning at school and between home and school, the College provides Years 7-9 students with Windows laptop, while Years 10-12 students receive an Apple laptop. With its multi-media capabilities, the Apple MacBook is an ideal curriculum tool in senior school as there are significant benefits in the classroom and in overall management and support. Most teachers set homework on Compass, which is accessible at home, as well as school.
A Friday afternoon Elective program for students in Years 7,8, 9 and 10 has been successfully introduced to build strengths, skills and lifelong abilities.
