The College provides an innovative curriculum, which acknowledges, celebrates and values the experiences of students as they establish individual identities within community. The Year 9 BRIDGES program aims to develop an understanding of our ever-changing world. BRIDGES engages students in Building Resilience, Independence, Dependability and Generosity while pursuing Excellence and developing Self-esteem.

The units are designed to encourage students to observe and analyse the challenges in our society and consider how they might contribute to positive change in their community. Through authentic learning experiences, students are supported to engage in deep learning and develop a personal commitment to justice in accordance with the vision and mission of the College. From 2021, students will also have the opportunity to complete the certified ‘Community Engagement: Collaborating for Change’ course through the University of Michigan.

Through investigative inquiry and practical experiences, students develop a genuine heart attitude for justice and common good in society. The BRIDGES Program is rigorous and strategically planned, allowing for the development of skills to enable students to become leaders and change agents, using their voice to make a real difference in their community.
