During stage 6, studies are tailored to the Preliminary Higher School Certificate, and the Higher School Certificate.[6]

A structured careers programme is also part of the year 10, 11 and 12 curriculum.[7]

Co-curricular programs provided for Senior school students include School Sport, Senior School Camps, Duke of Edinburgh's Award and Music.[8]
