A notable aspect of the college is its robust student support structures, with each individual student being known and supported academically and personally.

Each House has a unique identity and each is resourced with a Principal Class member, House Leader (Leading Teacher), three Student Coordinators and a Secondary Teacher Assistant. Home Group teachers are assigned to each current Year 7 Home Group and follow them through to Year 12. We also have very strong Wellbeing, Pathways and Inclusion Teams who offer a wide range of supports and programs to students.

We have an extremely active student leadership program, consisting of House Captains, Year Level Leaders, KLA and Co‑curricular Program Ambassadors and Peer Leaders.We also have a very active extra‑curricular program and achieve great participation and success in areas such as sport, music, debating and chess.
