The Year 7 Enrichment Class will be taught in 2027 using the AVID philosophy.

What is AVID Enrichment?

AVID stands for Advancement via Individual Determination. It is a programme that prepares students in years 7-12 to enter tertiary education at the end of their secondary school studies. AVID trained educators teach students academic and social skills to help them develop the habits and behaviours needed to succeed in rigorous curriculum.

AVID Australia’s mission is to prepare all students for post-secondary education, skills development and work-readiness so they can participate in a global community as productive citizens.
