Irene McCormack Senior School Reimagined

Irene McCormack Catholic College’s re-envisioning of the senior school - Dare to Dream - aims to provide a distinctive experience that strengthens and broadens course offerings, fosters student autonomy and agency, creates a vibrant sense of belonging and connectedness, boosts individual guidance and mentoring, and improves the retention of students from Year Ten to Year Eleven. Central to this initiative, is the application of self-determination theory, which emphasises the importance of fostering competence, autonomy, and relatedness. These key principles inspire a greater maturity, personal growth and intrinsic motivation where students are better equipped to navigate life beyond school.
