At Elizabeth College there is a program and pathway for everyone – whatever you want to do in life, and especially if you are still working it out. College is a time to choose your subjects wisely so that you are set for your next step, whether it be University, TAFE, an apprenticeship or into the workforce. It’s also a great time to take a chance on something you’ve never tried before and discover your passion.
We offer an extensive range of TASC endorsed subjects from a variety of curriculum areas. Courses should motivate and inspire students to follow their interests and passions, pursue their goals and explore future opportunities.
