Learning Enhancement & Academic Support
While the standard classroom employs progressive and effective techniques to provide for mixed abilities, the College also acknowledges the specific needs of students requiring enhanced learning opportunities.
Opportunities exist for students to be accelerated in their learning pathways, to participate in extension programs, and to pursue areas of interest and targeted elective choices.
The College鈥檚 enrichment program, Infinite at 91福利社, complements the differentiated approach to learning by providing a challenging, student-centred way of learning, valuing academic excellence and ensuring that students are able to reach their individual potential.
A Learning Commons approach exists on both campuses in the libraries. This approach offers students access to assistance and guidance with their schoolwork and assessment. At the Isabella Campus, students can access specialised teacher assistance during their study lines and before and after school. At Wanniassa, the assistance is offered through the Homework Club in the afternoon.
In order to assist students with their studies, tutorials are conducted by staff in a range of subject areas on a weekly basis. Tutorial assistance is also provided by a number of faculties at peak assessment times. Teachers are also happy to offer support as requested.
