The Secondary School

Welcome to Bishop Druitt College Secondary. We seek to realise the ideals expressed in our Vision and Values document through a range of excellent educational experiences.

The Secondary Campus of the College uses a five-stream model for Years 7 to 10 and offers a broad choice of study programs in the senior years. Each academic faculty determines its own structure in a manner that best suits the individual cohort. Therefore, some subjects may be streamed, while others are not.

The College has a strong history of academic success based on recognising and nurturing the individual’s talents and providing a safe environment in which to see them develop.

As well as offering a thorough grounding in English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Personal Development and Health, a wide range of electives in Technology and Applied Science, Creative and Performing Arts and Languages are offered to students as they progress through the Secondary years 

Many recreational clubs and sporting options are also available. Our sporting tradition combines the excellence of high performing teams with the opportunity for everyone to participate at their own level.

Underpinning the academic structure of the College is the House System. Each student belongs to a Tutor Group and a House. The Tutor Group is horizontal (the same Year level) and the House is Vertical (K-12). Students usually remain in the same Tutor Group and House for the duration of their Secondary enrolment.

We offer the services of exceptional educational professionals at all levels – in the classroom, in technology support and in educational support services. We also offer the best pastoral care available, using our House System as the foundation for creating a caring and personal experience of the Anglican educational ideal.

All this in the beautiful natural environment of the Boambee Valley, minutes from Coffs Harbour, the beautiful beaches and the rainforests of the hinterland.
