Learning For Life
While Achievement, Belonging and Care are woven together in the fabric of our learning community, we recognise that each student has unique strengths and talents.
Learning Enrichment & Extension
The college provides many enriching experiences for students to engage with learning and use their strengths and passions to extend their knowledge and skills.
Classroom teachers create opportunities to integrate and extend core knowledge and skills across subject areas. Interest groups allow students to opt in and develop their interests in areas such as sustainability, entrepreneurship, creative writing, drone technology, and so on. Students can also enrich and showcase their knowledge through various competitions and events. Older students can also enrol with external learning providers to focus skills in career interest areas. Year Twelve students can study extension subjects and first-year university subjects through our partner universities.
SWAN
Our ‘Students with Additional Needs’ (SWAN) department supports students who may be facing specific academic or social/emotional challenges. Expert staff assist students to achieve their best in classroom and small group settings. Please contact the College for further information.
Special Education Element
Westside cares for students with verified and significant learning needs through our ‘Special Education Element’ (SEE). Student-centred, personalised learning programs allow our students to receive specialised support and to thrive. To ensure an appropriate level of support for each student, places in SEE are limited. Please contact the College for further information.
