difference

A different kind of school

Warakirri College is an independent high school for young people completing Year 10 (RoSA) and Higher School Certificate (HSC) studies.

We are a different kind of high school where students are encouraged to be themselves as they study in a flexible adult learning environment.

The college offers additional services including distance education and creche facilities to support students with young children.

How it works

Warakirri means ‘to grow’. To help our students grow and achieve, Warakirri College offers an innovative program and a positive and welcoming space.

Students have the opportunity to work on projects that interest them, gain qualifications and do work experience.

Teachers are there not only to teach but also to help students build confidence, manage other challenges in their life and work towards their own learning, career and life goals.

Who is Warakirri for?

Warakirri College is for students aged 15 to 22 who have disconnected from mainstream education or don’t feel comfortable in a traditional school.

It is a school for students who want to re-engage with learning and obtain their RoSA and HSC qualifications.

Students can be referred from their current school or can apply directly to the college.

Smaller class sizes mean teachers can offer more personalised support, and classes are culturally diverse with a mix of ages and abilities.

About Warakirri
