Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to cater to student preferences, providing opportunities for differentiation and extension. Our dedicated teachers are trained in trauma-informed practice, ensuring they can support the social and emotional well-being of our students.
We understand the importance of preparing our students for future employment opportunities. That's why we have invested in modern trade educational facilities and advanced equipment, ensuring our students have access to high-quality training. Recently, we have introduced the impressive $5.3 million STEAM Centre and a significant investment in the Media Art and Design Centre, enhancing our educational offerings.
As the leading institution for the West Gippsland Trade Training Alliance, we take pride in our Trade Training Centre. Starting from year 9, students can engage in vocational education training (VET) and apprenticeship programs in our newly renovated facilities adjacent to the college campus. The Trade Training Centre plays a vital role in supporting students' career aspirations across both our VCE VM and VET pathways streams.
We believe in the holistic development of our students, which includes promoting sports and physical fitness. Our well-maintained fields cater to a variety of sports, complemented by a fully equipped gymnasium.
