The ACCESS program is a wellbeing program delivered to Years 7 - 10 students for one block per week in their timetable. The program actively supports the Vision statement of the College by encouraging and educating students about how to be authentic members of our Christian community. At the heart of the program is the Catholic teaching of Gospel values, to foster positive relationships and build happy, healthy and confident students who are holistically educated, academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually, and who are empowered to be their best selves as they make their way through God's plan for them.
