Educational Opportunities

At Westside we believe that all people are made in the image of God and as such have inherent worth. To this end, we work hard to provide a broad curriculum and range of support, extension, opportunities, and pathways to cater for the diversity of needs, interests, and aspirations of our young people.

Staff are dedicated to teaching, supporting, and inspiring students to achieve personal excellence in all aspects of learning and life. We strive to support our students realise their potential and become a positive influence in the world.

2025 Curriculum Offerings

Westside’s Secondary School provides an environment where students can explore new things, forge learning paths, and expand their knowledge and understanding. This forms a solid foundation to take them beyond the school environment to make valuable contributions to the world around them.

WCC Curriculum Offerings 2025


Homework Club

If students require additional support with their allocated homework, staff in the library are available between 3 pm and 4:30 pm each day, The library is a quiet place with plenty of resources. Students are invited to make use of this opportunity, alongside any other academic support we provide.


Football Development Program

The WCC Football Development Program is curriculum-based. It’s designed to give students opportunities to develop soccer skills in a professional environment. Students from Year 9 and Year 10 can elect to complete a six-term program run over two years.

The football program follows the FFA Curriculum, which is designed to ensure junior players across the country are familiar with the national style of football preferred by Senior Level coaches. Our coaches have completed their Junior and Senior Football Licences and have experience coaching football in various contexts.

TESTIMONIAL

I so enjoy coming to school each day. There’s such a sense of belonging here. I love finding the gold in each student, and drawing that out.
Taryn Behr, Teacher
Westside—a wonderful education, school friends, and families—the best! So yes, bring your children to this school. It is so worth it!
Kathy Accutt, Parent
One staff member had a huge impact on me and shaped the person I am today. Now a teacher here, I still marvel at the care and time teachers invest in students.
Steven Johnson, Teacher & former student
I really valued having positive relationships and honest conversations with my teachers. I was able to take their advice without offence, and that enabled me to work better.
