Anthony Asta - Leading Teacher, Timetabling & Data Management

As the 2022 academic year continues to speed toward December, planning is well and truly underway for the coming 2023 academic year. In addition to recruiting new teachers as the College grows by over 250 students and runs Year 12 for the first time, our larger cohorts at Years 10 and 11 have given us the opportunity to rethink and revamp our programs to enable more pathways for our students and opportunities for success.

 

This means that students have the opportunity to select from a larger range of subjects and are even more likely to have their preferred subjects run.
