General Overview

Thomas More College aims to provide teaching and learning experiences which support young people in becoming thriving individuals. We provide a comprehensive and inclusive curriculum from Years 7 to 12. In recognising the power of learning to change ourselves and our world, we strive to develop young people with the wisdom to be seekers of knowledge and experience who will go on to realise their aspirations and shape their own future.

 

Thomas More College delivers both the Australian Curriculum from Years 7-10 and the SACE from Years 10-12. It is designed to provide students with key skills for future study and life in the 21st Century. We provide a broad range of experiences and develop the capabilities of a learner which underpin all learning areas and support subject specific knowledge, understanding and skills.
Students are encouraged via personal learning plans to uncover strengths, interests and passions and tailor their subject pathways in such a way that will enable further successful achievement at university, TAFE, apprenticeship, workplace and trainee levels. The College provides flexibility in subject pathways both academic and vocational for students who may need extra support or those requiring acceleration beyond their year level. In addition, the College provides extra support for individual needs through our Inclusive Education Program and EALD support program. For more information please click here
