Why this program?

Course & Subject Offering

Designed around what young people need to thrive in the modern world, our College program has grown out of our continued commitment to providing a choice in senior school. We put the ‘who’ of learning equally alongside the ‘what’ of learning. Through our flexible College program offerings, our students can shape their education to meet their strengths and find their pathway.

How Students Learn

We are one of only a few schools in WA to make a Certificate IV qualification available to Year 11 and 12 students. The Certificate IV Design offering has been a perfect program for students to enter tertiary study pathways and post-secondary careers. Our Year 10 students also are uniquely able to earn a Certificate II in Visual Arts, which contributes to the completion of their West Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). The real strength, however, lies in the links between these nationally recognised programs, WACE studies, extracurricular activities and other opportunities available with and through our College program.

Where Students Learn

We understand that all students learn uniquely, and each individual and task requires particular criteria from a rich and dynamic learning environment. Therefore, the design of our campus is intentional to encourage student agency in their learning choices. Each space within the campus is carefully designed to support a variety of educational as well as social/emotional outcomes. Ranging from more traditional group learning classrooms to private study areas, art spaces, common areas for socialising and group activities, and counsellor and student wellness spaces.

Measuring Student Success

All of our students have the opportunity to achieve their West Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) through a diverse and exciting learning program, to allow the maximum possible opportunities after graduation. Students gain their WACE certificate through General WACE courses and in-house Certificate programs. There is also the opportunity to study external courses through SIDE or VET in Schools. Endorsed Programs such as Duke of Edinburgh International Award, UNAAWA or other individual pursuits also contribute to students' graduation.

AT BPCS SINCE: 2004

Nicole fervently believes that quality early life relationships, experiences and education are critical in providing a solid foundation for healthy life patterns and continuous learning. Nicole has both contributed to and experienced the growth of Bold Park Community School as a parent, teacher and board member; first joining the community in 2001, when the school was a one-room primary school! She became part of the Early Childhood teaching team in 2004.
From 2008 until 2015 Nicole was Early Childhood Co-Team Leader with the responsibility of expanding the outdoor learning program and National Quality Standards. In 2016 Nicole was appointed to the role of Pedagogista. This role sees her working, in collaboration, with the teaching teams and leadership to align the principles, practices and philosophy of Bold Park with current educational research and translate these into the daily experience of students and families.
To this role, Nicole draws not only her many years of experience in the Bold Park context, but also her teaching experience in a breadth of contexts including high school science and early years learning. Nicole is grateful to have had the opportunity to travel internationally to visit educational contexts of Reggio Emilia and has recently completed her Master’s of Education in Teaching and Learning.
