IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We are proud to offer students the opportunity to pursue their individual interests and strengths through participation in one of our four Specialist Programs.  The Specialist Programs are timetabled as electives.  Queries about the impact of this on student course selection may be discussed with the Deputy Principal.  Students enrolled in the Netball Specialist Program have many exciting opportunities to develop strong netball, teamwork and leadership skills.  The Netball Program provides exertion and challenge, treatment of the subject in depth and the pursuit of excellence.  With those opportunities comes the responsibility to commit to the program and the team.  Netball commitments are available here.
