Year 10 can be a turning point

Before the senior years begin, there is still time to find a school environment that helps your young person rebuild confidence, routine and direction.

A fresh start before senior years begin.

For many families, Year 10 is the moment when school decisions begin to feel urgent. If your young person is falling behind, losing motivation or struggling to see a future at school, now is the time to explore another pathway.

Alta1 supports students who need a fresh start before the senior years. Our learning environment is designed to help young people rebuild confidence, strengthen routine and reconnect with goals for Year 11, Year 12 and beyond.

What makes Alta1 Different

We understand that the next few years matter. Our approach combines care, structure and future-focused learning so students can move forward with purpose rather than simply trying to keep up.

We work through a therapeutic lens, blending education and wellbeing every single day. Our campuses operate with a significant ratio of therapeutic staff alongside teachers, so students are supported both academically and emotionally.

What this means in practice:

  • Tailored Trauma-informed, strength based teaching
  • Individual learning plans

  • Small, relational classroom environments

  • Daily emotional regulation support

  • Clear, structured pathways beyond school

When a young person feels safe and seen, learning follows.

Had she stayed in the mainstream system, I actually don't think she'd be here today. At Alta1 we weren't just seen to be another name on the list - they made her feel safe and she was allowed to blossom in her own way, at her own pace. It's just amazing and it’s just incredible!

Your pathway starts here

If mainstream school is no longer working for your child, complete an Expression of Interest today and take the first step toward a different path forward for 2027.

At Alta1 College, we prioritise the wellbeing of every student. All information provided in this Expression of Interest will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. According to Section 242 of the School Education Act 1999, this information will only be used for the following purposes:

  • To determine whether your Application for Enrolment can be accepted.
  • To assist the College in addressing any specific needs your child may have if the enrolment is accepted.
  • To comply with legal requirements or ministerial directions.

Your trust is important to us, and we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and supporting your student’s educational journey.

The below information will assist the College with understanding if any specific resources will be required to support the student with their education. Responses do not determine if a student will be accepted or not.

 

If your Expression of Interest relates to Middle School (Years 7, 8 & 9) please read:

Middle School places at Alta1 are extremely limited and demand significantly exceeds availability. Submission of an Expression of Interest does not guarantee an enrolment opportunity, a place on a waiting list, or progression to the next stage of the enrolment process.

Every Expression of Interest is carefully assessed against our enrolment criteria to determine whether Alta1 is the right fit for the student and whether a suitable place may be currently available. Due to the high volume of enquiries we receive, only families whose circumstances align with our enrolment criteria and current availability may proceed to the next stage.
