Alternative pathways
To empower students with diverse aspirations, we have proudly introduced our new initiative – ‘Future Ambitions’. This innovative program aims to support students in achieving their pathway goals, which may extend beyond the confines of the traditional school curriculum.
Recognizing that success takes various forms, the launch of Future Ambitions invited students to apply in five distinct categories:
- Entrepreneurship
- Sport
- The Arts and Music
- Academic
- Specialist Areas
Targeted at supporting students whose show dedication and a commitment to excellence in their chosen pathway, the program aligns with the College’s inclusive school culture and deliberately shies away from the term ‘elite’. The emphasis of the program is on recognising and nurturing the potential in every student, regardless of their chosen pathway and is tailored to individual needs, ensuring they receive the support they need to thrive.
To apply, students complete a rigourous application process, that ensures they are suited and committed to high expectations of the program. This includes providing evidence of a demonstrated ongoing commitment (6 months plus) and a high degree of competency and motivation by uploading supporting evidence, identifying short and long term goals and articulating how the program can help achieve these goals.
In its inaugural year, the unique program currently supports 27 students across all categories, reflecting the diverse interests and aspirations within the student body.
Future Ambitions reaffirms the College's commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped to thrive in an ever-evolving world. By providing tailored support and fostering a culture of inclusivity and individuality, the program empowers students to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination. As we embark on this exciting journey together, the possibilities are endless, and the future is bright.
