The small school, nestled at the foot of Wahluu or Mount Panorama, is an innovative, independent senior college which focuses on student wellbeing and personal achievement. Ms Barrett said SSC is built on a strong foundation, with three principles underpinning all the organisation does.
“We adopt a student-centred approach to learning, are strength based (speaking to students’ potential) and solution focussed,” she said.
