Students who excel in the subject area of mathematics also have the opportunity to attend a Mathematics Summer School that is normally conducted at one of the local universities.

We have forged partnerships with:
- Housing Industry Association (HIA) - Australia's largest residential building organisation

Our Workplace Learning program has also enabled us to form valuable connections with a large number of businesses across all sectors of the workforce. Our students benefit from opportunities to have workplace experiences in whatever their chosen profession.
