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 Tennis Specialist Program have many exciting opportunities to develop strong tennis, teamwork and leadership skills. With those opportunities comes the responsibility to commit to the program and the team.
