SEE High Achievers Program


S.E.E Program

This program will be exclusive and selective. Students who show high academic aptitude and have high academic aspirations are encouraged to apply to our SEE program.


Program Goals
SEE has been developed to address the needs of high achieving students who demonstrate academic excellence, high levels of task commitment and outstanding creativity. A ‘high achiever’ must be prepared to take on the challenges offered, be willing to take risks and to set more challenging goals.

The program aims to allow students to:

  • Develop deep understanding and critical thinking skills
  • Enhance their ability to work with more abstract and in-depth course material
  • Become effective problem solvers
  • Successfully work as independent and co-operative learners
  • Create pathways to success for their future study and career aspirations

Program Structure
The program will be delivered to include a:

  • Personalised curriculum with opportunities to respond to the learner’s needs
  • STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) Focus
  • Curriculum differentiated through changes in pace, depth, complexity and teaching method
  • ICT Rich program with 1:1 device
  • Curriculum Aligned Excursions
  • Accelerated VCE (V3) which has no traditional Year 10. All Year 10 students undertake VCE Unit 1 and 2.
