General Information
The Higher School Certificate recognises thirteen years of schooling. In the interests of greater career choices and increased opportunities at university and TAFE, it offers a full range of study areas matching individual abilities, interests and goals. All courses follow syllabuses either produced or approved by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA).
The College provides many courses which meet the needs of each student, extension courses enable students to undertake more in-depth study in areas of special interest, and Vocational Education and Training courses count towards the HSC and also lead to qualifications recognised across a range of industries.
Students must study at least two units of English to be eligible to receive the HSC and at least one unit of Religious Education. This is a College requirement.
Life Skills courses for students with special needs may also be offered.
In addition, some TAFE courses and language courses are offered through external providers with additional cost.
