The college is an Independent Public School that takes an innovative approach to its learning program, providing a mix of practical hands-on training, combined with classroom learning. Rebecca Kirkwood, Principal said, “This approach has proved time and time again to be a very successful combination. It provides strong outcomes for our graduates who are ready to pursue successful careers from the moment they graduate.”

The high level of talent and leadership qualities among our students continues to be recognised by the educational and agricultural sector through our scholarship program. The program rewards students with a strong interest in the agricultural arena and strives to support their growth and development within their chosen field of study. Several highly contested scholarships were awarded at the ceremony including the Shire of Denmark Agricultural Scholarship which was awarded to incoming student in 2022, Laura Webster.

Rebecca said, “Year 12 graduation is always a special time at the College. It provides an opportunity for us to gather as a community. Together we celebrate student success and applaud those who have helped them achieve great outcomes.”
