Our pathways offer flexibility for you to explore your career aspirations and find your future. If you are not sure, you can combine employment, training and university preparation courses to determine your future pathway.
You can also join us if you haven’t met your goals at the end of Year 12 and want to enrol to complete your secondary schooling in Year 13.
Our college is managed differently with greater flexibility for students as they map out their future in a supportive and inclusive young adult learning environment.
Student timetables vary depending on their course choice, with a range of starting and finishing times. Students can arrive at the beginning of their first class and leave at the end of their last class whilst some days they may be off-site at TAFE or work placements.
All students are supported by an advocate who works closely with them in monitoring their academic and social development, ensuring students feel empowered by making informed decisions about themselves, for their future.
We encourage prospective students to explore our pathway offerings and make an appointment to come and enrol with us. We know that students love their time with us and we know that future students will thrive in our young adult learning environment.
Come and find your future with us!

YOUNG ADULT ETHOS
Our Young Adult Ethos prepares students for the world beyond school by gradually increasing their capacity to take on their responsibilities in an adult world. Our interaction with students is guided by our CARE values as we mentor them to be the best version of themselves they can be and support them to belong to our community so that they become confident young adults in our society.
Our young adult learning environment prepares students to adapt to future pathways at university, training and/or employment which is reflected in our extended daily timetable and flexible timetable.
