New Buildings
Recently groundwork has begun to establish new relocatable buildings for the 2025 school year. These building have been built brand new for our school and will be ready for the 2025 school year. The addition of these buildings will help us achieve our intended permanent capacity of about 1200 students.
Year 7 2025
In the last few months, we have been finalising the enrolments of our latest cohort of Year 7 students for 2025. At this point we are expecting to welcome a cohort of about 220 students to the school in Year 7. Demand for place at the school has remained high but we are managing our growth through the implementation of a Enrolment Management Implementation Plan with support of the North Western Region. This plan (EMIP) allows us to prioritise school enrolment for families living within the enrolment zone and manage our growth sustainably. This year is the third year in a row where we have received well over 400 applications for Year 7 enrolment- displaying exceptionally high demand for places at the school. As described above, we are managing this demand effectively to prioritise the needs of our immediate community.
Planning for 2025
A significant number of events and actions are already underway to get students ready for the 2025 school year. Program and subject selection for current Year 9 and 10 students have now been completed, current Year 8 student subject selection will open shortly and Year 12 programs will be finalised soon. In addition to this, we are actively recruiting a significant number of teachers for 2025.
