Senior Secondary Years 11 and 12

We know we are preparing students for a disrupted world and that their success as individuals and global citizens will be based on their willingness to engage with the world beyond school. Our graduates not only develop the skills and values that will enable them to be world class scholars but also joie de vivre which will carry them through the next stages of their wonderful lives.A love for independent learning is fostered through the time and guidance offered by our Mentors as part of the House system, and specialist support staff including careers counsellors, psychologists and curriculum leaders.Throughout the Senior School journey there is a strong partnership between home and school, as together we enable students to realise their potential. Our focus on the whole person has unique, tried and tested approaches to adolescent growth and development. In Year 10, students commence their three-year journey towards their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) accreditation. The College’s Personal Learning Program which comprises “real world” work experience and community service, personal development, learning styles and study skills promotes student understanding of life beyond school.The seeds of intrinsic motivation are nurtured as students gain independence and are given the trust and respect to take responsibility for their learning.All students in the Senior School have the opportunity to participate in our Plus One acceleration program. Scotch students hungry for extension and opportunity in their studies will find this program meets their needs. This extension enables students to gain insight into the language and structure of SACE courses and also provides study flexibility in Years 11 and 12.
