Senior Secondary College
Our Story
In 2020, we identified that while many of our Year 10 students were leaving us with firm transition plans in place, there were some that were not thriving once they moved back into mainstream schools or went on to further training opportunities. This provided us with an opportunity and motivated us to establish the Galilee School Senior Secondary College for Year 11 and 12 students, as we believe there is a need in the ACT for a Special Assistance School that operates at the senior secondary level.
A vision turned into reality and Galilee School Senior Secondary College (GSSSC) opened in 2021. We offer a boutique range of accredited (A) subjects that have been strategically identified with the support of the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) to enable students who struggle in mainstream school environments to achieve their ACT Senior Secondary Certificate.

Why us?Our college is distinguished by its smaller class sizes, which allow for a more personalized and focused educational experience. Each student benefits from individualized learning plans tailored to their specific needs and goals, supported by dedicated learning assistants. Furthermore, we have Youth Workers on staff who provide comprehensive social and emotional support. These Youth Workers are also responsible for case management, which includes setting personal and academic goals, establishing vital community connections, and making necessary referrals to external resources. |

Curriculum Journeys
We are offering two study options for a student’s learning journey towards their Senior Secondary Certificate. Each of these options has capped placement numbers based on the resources of the school.
To qualify for a Senior Secondary Certificate students need to attend 90% of classes in each unit and complete at least 70% of their assessments for each unit across a semester.
