Special
Programs
All our students are special.
We recognise this and tailor all our courses to meet the unique
and individual needs and abilities of our students.
The following programs have been designed especially to develop
the full potential of all our students at the AIC.
1. High Achiever Program
This program is targeted at
those high achievers who would benefit from a more advanced
academic program. The requirements are rigorous and only students
with above average abilities qualify. Students are only able
to join after careful assessment and an average mark of 90%-100%.
Students in the High Achiever Program receive extra benefits,
including specially planned extra curricular activities and
recognition though placement on an honour board, certificate
of acceptance, monetary prize and special identification badges.
2. Achiever Program
The Achiever group is composed
of students with marks between 80% -90%. This group is given
advanced work for further development and in-depth understanding
of subjects. Assessment is frequent to ensure high academic
results are maintained and students are upgraded to the High
Achiever program when their academic levels improve. This
group also enjoys privileges similar to the High Achiever
but on a scaled down level.
3. The Mainstream
Program
The focus is on a carefully
defined group of subjects, which are relevant to university
entry. Assessment is frequent and regular to ensure high academic
results are achieved and students are upgraded to the High
Achiever/Achiever program if required. Students undertake
work from the next year level in term four from Year 7. In
this way, students are always ahead and are familiar with
more advanced material than their year level requires. By
the end of Year 11, students will have completed most of,
if not all of Year 12, thus leaving a year for advanced revision
and in-depth assessment for TEE.
Class numbers are small and
taught by only qualified teachers from all faiths and disciplines.
Year 11 and 12 students will be expected to attend supplementary
evening and weekend classes. (There is no additional school
fee for this).
4. The Remedial Program
The Remedial Program is designed
to help those students who may require additional attention
to realize their full potential. The program adopts a more
personalised approach with the emphasis on small class sizes.
The College also offers ESL classes for those students whose
first language is not English.
