Entry into our Signature Programs
Signature Program Applications for 2025 have CLOSED.
An orientation program is held in Term 4 each year for students who are enrolled at the school for the following year. During orientation, students will meet in the auditorium and undertake a program of familiarisation into secondary school life by experiencing some mini-classes and meeting with student leaders.
First day at school
Students who commence school during the school year (other than on the first day of the school year) should report to the administration office. These students will be met by their year level coordinators, who will help them to understand their timetables and ensure that they are ‘buddied’ with other students who will assist in their welcome and transition to their new school. Students are also able to access a wide range of support services throughout their school years from our highly qualified
support team.
Our Defence School Mentor
Is here to support and assist students of defence force families as they integrate into a new school community. For further information please go to the
DSM page of our website.
