Vocational Education & Training
Senior School students also have the opportunity to undertake Vocational Education and Training (VET) studies, enabling them to earn credits towards nationally recognised qualifications whilst completing their West Australian Certificate of Education. Visit our VET Pathways page for more information.
Learning Environment
Senior School at GMAS offers an engaging and supportive environment where students further develop their sense of identity, their strengths and their interests in certain learning areas.The culture of Senior School affords students greater responsibility, autonomy and independence in preparation for life beyond school. They have the freedom to be themselves, to follow their passions and strive for personal excellence each and every day.These final years of schooling are the most challenging. Each student benefits from a strong pastoral care model which is characterised by supportive and productive relationships with teachers, peers and family. It is this network of support that ensures students leave GMAS as confident, skilled, thoughtful and creative learners who are well equipped for a successful and fulfilling life after they graduate.
