Senior College life is challenging, varied and
exciting, providing a variety of new possibilities
for our students. The Senior College curriculum builds
on the foundation laid by the academic and elective programs
offered in Middle School. In years 10, 11 & 12 we
fine-tune those skills by offering students the widest
possible range of learning experiences and the support
of enthusiastic Christian teachers who are there to listen,
advise and inspire.
Our students are encouraged to strive for educational
excellence and are well prepared for Secondary
Graduation and a pathway to university, TAFE or the
workforce. The College is recognised for its innovation
and flexible programming, providing students
with the opportunity to plan and select the ideal direction
for achieving their personal goals. By combining subjects
and learning strategies from the College's four distinct
pathways - (TEE) Tertiary Entrance Examination, TEE-VET
(Vocational Education and Training), VET and Ministry
- a Thornlie Christian College course is structured
specifically to suit the strengths and abilities of
each and every student.
Our Senior College students perform well,
having had the positive support of
committed teachers in small, focussed classes. Our students
benefit from the close attention that small classes
afford and are well prepared for the rigors of further
study at tertiary level, or entry into the workplace.
Students also enjoy the pastoral care and support
of Form Teachers during these pressure-filled final
years of their schooling.
In addition to academic studies, the College encourages
senior students to pursue other interests. Programs
in Sport and Recreation and the Arts provide a balance
to their study program. Our senior students
are also encouraged to participate in service
and leadership functions within the College
community, including mentoring younger students, leading
the College worship team, serving as prefects, or serving
on the College student council, Serving in this way
encourages the development of leadership skills and
gives students the satisfaction of contributing to the
College community.
Senior students at Thornlie Christian College have
the full support of a close knit and caring
team of staff who are committed to helping
them set and achieve their goals and bring this stage
of their learning journey to a rewarding conclusion. |
