A challenging core academic program covering English, Mathematics, Humanities, Science, Religion and Philosophy and Health and Physical Education is offered. All subjects follow, and are assessed against, the Australian Curriculum.

The elective program includes:
• Languages (Chinese and French)
• Expressive Arts including Music, Dance, Drama, Textiles, Art and Graphic Design
• Integrated subjects combining two or more faculties across many subject areas
• STEAM/STEM learning opportunities
• More in-depth and focused learning in a subject area
