The College's curriculum includes not only what is learnt, but also how it is taught and what experiences occur to enable true learning to take place. The College places great emphasis on the learning process, on the various ways individual students learn, and on the quality and style of teaching which will best assist that process.

As a Kindergarten to Year 12 school, the College is ideally placed to recognise the learning continuum across all of those years. The curriculum is based on the NSW Board of Studies' six learning Stages: Early Stage 1 [Kindergarten] through to Stage 6 [Years 11-12].

At each Stage there are Key Learning Areas [KLAs] to be covered by all students. These KLAs provide the common curriculum for all students across the State and their goals are expressed as outcomes which students work towards attaining.

Elective subjects offered for the School Certificate include: Commerce, French, Japanese, Music, PASS, Visual Arts, Visual Design, Design& Technology & Drama.

Elective subjects offered for the Higher School Certificate include: Ancient History, Business Studies, CAFS, Design & Technology, Drama, French, Geography, Hospitality, Japanese, Legal Studies, Modern History, Music, PDHPE, Visual Design, & Visual Arts.
