The School

North Lake Senior Campus offers an alternative pathway for Year 11 and Year 12 education catering to students beyond the compulsory age of 18 in Western Australia. Our campus privileges wellbeing and diversity. It embraces multiculturalism and inclusion and fosters an inclusive, safe and vibrant learning space where young people can experience an adult ethos, where they work alongside staff to fulfill their post-school destinations.

In addition to local students, North Lake Senior Campus enrols newly arrived migrant and refugee background students aged 16 and over into our Intensive English Centre (IEC). These students have diverse educational and cultural experiences and backgrounds; they are resilient, motivated, and engaged learners. Through the study of a range of core and elective subjects, the students acquire Standard Australian English. They also acquire and develop the academic skills and knowledge they need to succeed in senior secondary Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and Vocational Education Training (VET) courses. Like all our students, they are supported in the planning of their pathways towards further education, training or employment. Many students exiting the IEC remain at North Lake Senior Campus to complete mainstream secondary studies in Years 11 and 12.
