Enhancement Programs


 

Gleneagles Secondary College offers a broad range of Enhancement Programs. Each program aims to provide students with:

  • access to areas of interest and passion that enhance their connection to school and their peers
  • specialist instruction / coaching / mentoring from senior teachers and / or coaches and industry experts
  • opportunities to work or compete against other schools and / or within the wider community
  • insights into pathways associated with the Enhnacement Progrm and unique to each particular program (E.g. qualifications that are recognised beyond the school context)

Importantly, our Enhancement Programs do not run as rigid class based programs, instead operating outside of the normal school timetable, allowing students access to both the full school curriculum and Enhancement Programs.

 

Listed below are our initial Enhancement Program offerings, complete with more details and how to access each individual Enhancement Program. Throughout 2023 we will be expanding our Enhancement Program offerings, please stay tuned for further information.
