Launch
Launch is a select entry program for Year 9 and Year 10 students. They must have demonstrated strength and passion for Mathematics and Science.
The program aims to enrich and extend the knowledge, skills, and readiness of these students to engage with real-world challenges and emerge as the leaders, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs our world needs. Year 8 students are selected for Year 9 through a formal process in Term 3 each year.
In Year 10, Launch students are paired with an industry or tertiary partner. They prepare and present a thesis on a topic of passion in the field of cybersecurity.
P-Tech Pathways to Technology
In 2019, we applied to become a P-Tech school with a specialisation in cybersecurity. We became a P-Tech school in 2020. The Australian Government provided grants to 13 selected schools to actively partner with an industry in the STEM field. Our current partners include BHP, Visy, Trustwave, MYOB, NBN and Swinburne, Melbourne and Deakin universities. Twenty-five Year 10 Launch students are mentored by these partners to help our students gain the skills to succeed in a field that is vital to Australia’s future.
