Scholars Program

The Scholars Program offers students who are excelling in specific academic areas the opportunity to:

• Work with other high performing students.
• Engage with higher education and employment pathways (such as visiting universities, CSIRO, Parliament).
• Participate in academic competitions and events (debating, Westpac Maths Competition, short story competitions etc).
• Work with distinguished alumni, academics and community leaders to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding in specific areas of interest.
• Access subjects in earlier year levels (including VCE subjects).  
• Attend tailored 'Scholars' camps, excursions and incursions.
• Gain support from an academic mentor.

The Scholars Program differs from traditional 'Select Entry Programs' because it recognises that individual students will excel in different areas. The Scholars Program is focused on identifying students who are excelling in a particular area and working with students to foster and nurture their talents to support them to continue to excel.

The Aspire Scholars Program is open to all students across the college, but in 2026 priority will be given to students in Year 7 and in Year 12.
