Year 7 Catalyst: Academic Extension Program
The Catalyst: Academic Extension Program aims to provide our top academic students with the opportunity to excel in the four learning areas of Mathematics, English, Science, and HASS. The program is designed to cater for the needs of our academically talented students, providing them with enrichment and extension activities to broaden their interest and knowledge of the curriculum and beyond.
We aim to assist all students in achieving their academic best at the College, and we encourage students to use creativity, teamwork and communication skills through a range of activities. All activities are designed to engage students and deepen their knowledge and learning. Students in the Catalyst program will have access to the following:
- University immersion activities
- Guest speakers
- Competitions across the learning areas
- Specialised incursions, excursions, and enrichment activities
In Year 7, students will sample the Catalyst program across all four learning areas and then move into specialist areas of English, Mathematics, Science, and HASS from Year 8 onwards.
Entry into the Catalyst Program is by application and an academic testing process. The student’s most recent NAPLAN results and school reports are also taken into consideration.
