Induction Days

We have a number of Induction Days, a specific one for students who are the only person coming from their primary school as well as a general one for all students to get to know each other and the College. We also have additional days where required and we can structure a plan that meets your child's particular needs.

Information Evening and Orientation Day 

The year before your child is set to commence secondary education at the College, you will receive an information pack which contains important information regarding Orientation days, College Fees, Uniform and booklists. Families will also be invited to attend a Year 7 Information Evening.
