Our college community have high expectations of our students in performance, attendance and behaviour and our excellent results in all these areas are a reflection of our commitment. To ensure that our students reach their full potential we provide extensive student support services that focus on course and careers planning and student welfare support.

　　Educational research has consistently shown that of all the things that schools can control, it is the quality of teaching & learning that most directly and most powerfully affects the quality of learning outcomes that students demonstrate.
