“Entrepreneurship is the engine fuelling innovation, employment generation and economic growth…the power that education has in developing the skills that generate an entrepreneurial mindset and in preparing future leaders for solving more complex, interlinked and fast-changing problems” (OECD, Entrepreneurial Education in Practice, 2015)
Facilitating entrepreneurial mindsets at the College is valued and traditionally this has been achieved through business and enterprise opportunities within the curriculum, particularly within the Humanities and Creative Design Industries Departments. Other department areas, plus elective offerings for Years 8-10, have also supplemented skills around business modelling, finance and problem-solving. The […]
The following request is from the Australia’s Chief Medical Officer, asking all parents to ensure all our young people are vaccinated against COVID-19.
I am reaching out prior to the end of first term to encourage and remind you all to book a COVID-19 vaccination for your child.

A key reason for our College’s focus upon leaner attributes is to continue to develop the interpersonal skills and community mindedness throughout all of our learning opportunities.
The value in being kind, compassionate and helpful can not always be measured or immediately visible but the ripple effect and impact through a group, a team, a friendship, a class is all linked to creating a culture of giving, starting from thinking of others.
During this week our Year 7 students have enjoyed the challenges and opportunities to […]
As part of the College’s Harmony Week celebrations, the “Scattered People” documentary was screened this week to a group of TCE students and staff. The Migrant Resource Centre North kindly arranged for this documentary to be shared with the College, and the audience found it a very powerful story.

A brief introduction of the documentary is below:
Through the eyes and hearts of two Iranian musicians, Scattered People is a story about the healing power of music, bringing together people, cultures and countries while […]
