Facilities

Wellington Point State High School endeavors to accommodate the needs of all students, offering a wide range of study areas, and a number of impressive facilities such as a fully functional theatre (The Osprey Theatre) and a Multi Purpose Shelter (MPS) for assemblies and sporting activities. It is also currently upgrading and replacing old computers in many rooms to keep up with the technology revolution. The school has developed a number of unique programs to encourage the steady educational development of students. Such a program is 'The Acceleration Program', which allows gifted year 10 students to undertake year 11 subjects, giving the student the option of beginning a tertiary course in their senior year. Among these other programs that have been incorporated into our school syllabus, we also have courses that train students in different areas so that they may receive certificates at the end of these courses.
