SETON COLLEGE is a Catholic co-educational High School with a maximum enrolment of 230 students from Year Eight to Twelve. Its modern campus is located in a bush land setting at Mount Gravatt East, twelve km. south east of Brisbane's C.B.D. Established in 1964 by the Daughters of Charity, its specific purpose is to provide opportunities for students who have experienced difficulties with their schoolwork in earlier years to be more successful. While the College attempts to cater for a range of abilities, Seton is not a special school and as a normal school of specific purpose, is not staffed or funded as a special school. At Seton we seek to identify the strengths and abilities of individual students and develop those while targeting particular academic areas where the student needs additional assistance. Students achieving at higher levels can do well in Seton's small classes and may choose to continue on to study O.P. subjects at other schools after Year Ten once they have caught up academically. The college curriculum includes most core subjects and a variety of elective subjects. Particular emphasis is given to training students in literacy and numeracy, developing good work practices, independence, communication and organizational skills. Programs in all core subjects are offered at many levels so that students with a range of abilities can experience success. Small classes and highly qualified teaching and learning support staff give students the opportunity to do their best "whatever their best may be". Once they have 'picked up the pace' and gained confidence they can move on to more challenging levels in other classes. Work experience, work placements, certificate courses and traineeships are offered from Year Ten. This gives students a head start with credits accumulated towards the Queensland Certificate of Education and to further their education or enter the workplace confidently.Strong connections between the community, home, teachers and students in a small family atmosphere with twice daily..
