CATALYST: ACADEMIC EXTENSION PROGRAM
The Catalyst: Academic Extension Program aims to provide our top academic students the opportunity to excel in the four learning areas of Mathematics, English, Science and HASS. The program is designed to cater for the needs of our academically talented students, providing them with enrichment and extension activities to broaden their interest and knowledge of the curriculum and beyond. We aim to assist all students to achieve their academic best at the College and we encourage students to use creativity, teamwork and communication skills through a range of activities. All activities are designed to engage students and deepen their knowledge and learning.
Students in the Catalyst program will have access to the following:
University immersion activities
Guest speakers
Competitions across the learning areas
Specialised incursions, excursions and enrichment activities
Project-based learning activities
In Year 7, students will sample the Catalyst program across all four learning areas and then move into specialist areas of English, Mathematics, Science and HASS from Year 8 onwards.
