For the Higher School Certificate, students are able to select subjects from a schedule of 22 two-unit subjects and three one-unit subjects. In addition, HSC students have the opportunity to undertake Distance Education courses or TVET courses via local TAFE colleges. In all HSC cohorts to date, multiple students have appeared in the Band 6 Distinguished Achievers Lists.

Sport: A variety of team sports and recreational activities is provided for all students. The school participates in interschool competitions with other Christian schools at regional and state level.

Extracurricular activities: Concert band, ministry group, instrumental tuition.

Welfare and personal development: A student council provides student leadership. The school has a strong pastoral care focus with particular attention given to the needs of students.
