The College values of Caring, Cooperation, Achievement, Honesty and Pride promote the cultural diversity of the student population which is drawn predominantly from the local neighbourhood areas. Approximately 44 different nationalities among the students leads to a culturally and linguistically diverse group of learners. Our learning programs are enriched by drawing on the range and number of cultures and backgrounds represented among the students.
