History

The College opened for students in 2001 with Jack Joyce as inaugural Principal and Doreen Smith as inaugural College Council Chair. In that first year, the College consisted of 13 staff and 151 students by year's end.[2]

Campus

The College is built on one campus located at 5 Santona Boulevard in Ellenbrook, Western Australia. The Junior School library and technology centre and the Secondary gymnasium, auditorium and performing arts buildings are the most recently constructed additions to the campus. They were completed in 2011 with financial assistance from the Australian Government's Building the Education Revolution.

Curriculum

In Years K-10, the curriculum is derived from a combination of the Western Australian[3] and the incoming Australian Curriculum, which will eventually supersede the Curriculum Framework. In the upper school years (Year 11 & 12), students study for a Western Australian Certificate of Education as managed by the Schools Curriculum and Standards Authority.

Extra curricular activities
  • Bush Ranger Cadets (years 8 to 12)

gollark: Also, unable to use search engines somehow.
gollark: I think the nice thing about Linuxen is that once you know some things the rest comes reasonably easily from there; unlike with Windows, where you can do the basic stuff easily but struggle to do complex things.
gollark: Probably mount configs, I think.
gollark: I mean, I think you can muck around with some option somewhere to not require chmod +x (or 755 or whatever), but you probably shouldn't.
