Integrated Learning teaches our students: to work collaboratively Essential research skills To support an informed argument or point of view Critical thinking – to consider implications Problem solving ICT skillsThese skills support a good HSC
All students study Studies of Religion for their HSC and it helps improve the ATAR.

• Fast pace• Staying organised• Taking care and being responsible for books, laptops and
uniform items• Fitting in• Friendship changes, misunderstandings.
