The College has a significant number of staff who are QCAA Endorsers, Confirmers or Lead Confirmers, well regarded as leaders in their field.Students across Years 10-12 study between 6 and 7 subjects aligned with the Australian Curriculum (where possible) or the Senior QCE / VET curriculum requirements. Year 10 and 11 are designed as foundational years, where curriculum and assessment design deliberately mirror Year 12 requirements, ensuring that students have multiple feedback opportunities to improve their overall outcomes. Students requiring educational adjustments are supported by classroom teachers, and by the Faculty of Learning Enrichment and Support, in line with QCAA AARA protocols. High potential students are also supported to commence early University enrolments.

Students in Year 11 and 12 can opt for ATAR, Rank, VET or blended pathways.
