Excellence in the education of Boys Academically the College is in a very strong position demonstrating this by receiving 37 NSW Board of Studies Honour Roll listings in last year’s Higher School Certificate. These results were attained across a range of subjects that assisted the students to enter Tertiary Institutions for many well credentialed courses such as Medicine law education veterinary Science and Engineering. The focus at the College is on maintaining small class sizes so that those students that require extension and remediation are able to receive the support that is necessary for their continual development. The teaching of languages is another area which the college focuses on providing opportunities to our students such as overseas travel and experiences to converse with native speakers of the language by hosting students every year to enrich the experiences within the classroom. The languages that are currently offered are Mandarin Chinese and French. The Arts at Stannies Success in the Arts was demonstrated again recently to the city of Bathurst when the production ‘Grease’ was presented to the multitudes. The production allowed the students that excel in drama music and those that wish to pursue a career in the entertainment industry to be showcased in front of audiences that at some stages exceeded 600 guests. The College is committed to providing experiences to our students in these areas as it assists them to develop into well rounded young men.
