Study Centre

The College operates a study centre which is located in the College Library. From Monday to Thursday and starting at 3:30pm and finishing at 5:00pm this program allows secondary students to have a place where they can study in a quiet environment with access to study resources.  Some parents who are unable to collect their son or daughter before the supervision duty is finished have them in the study centre. There may also be times when a student will be in the study centre at the direction of the teacher because they have failed to complete their homework. The Librarian is on duty as well as a Secondary Teacher who is rostered on for the afternoon to assist students who may have challenges with homework.
