Connect Program
Connect
The Connect program is a developmental program specifically designed for each year level and stages of adolescence and follows our pillars to enable students to belong, achieve and become. Our college values weave throughout the Connect program.
Connect places an importance on knowing students as individuals, whilst ensuring they feel they belong to the college and wider community, acting respectfully and empathetically to become active, responsible and successful global citizens.
All students are active members of a Connect class, supported by their Connect teacher who will deliver the program and monitor students learning and wellbeing. There are 3 Connect lessons per week. The Connect teacher is a key contact for both students and their families.
Middle Years (7 to 9)
The Connect program assists students with their transition as they embark on their secondary schooling learning journey. Students have time and opportunities to foster new relationships and develop a sense of belonging to the college where they feel safe and connected and build a sense of pride in their new environment.
Students are involved in a variety of activities and experiences including personal development, goal setting and developing a growth mind set to develop as resilient, confident and self-directed learners. In Connect, students learn about and celebrate some significant local, national, international and cultural events. Students also participate in the middle years Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum, a respectful relationships and child safety curriculum for children and young people. This curriculum covers 4 focus areas: the right to be safe, relationships, recognising and reporting abuse, and protective strategies.
At year 9, students participate in a personal development, leadership and resilience building program of learning, culminating in a camp to be held at the end of term 4.
