The ACCESS program is a holistic 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 empower students to be confident, resilient, with the knowledge and skills to achieve their potential. The program strives to develop students who are holistically educated - academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually, and who are given every opportunity to be their best selves as they make their way through God's plan for them.
