Welcome to Alesco Secondary College: A School With A Difference.

Alesco Secondary College (formerly “Alesco Senior College”) is a secondary school that believes that in order for students to have the greatest chance of success, Wellbeing and Learning must be in balance.

At Alesco, we understand that traditional schooling might not resonate with every student. As well as our sound programs of learning, which can lead to the achievement of the Higher School Certificate (HSC), we have a Wellbeing Program that provides students with longterm solutions for managing their emotions in a healthy and effective manner. Our school promotes quality education, whilst also guiding students to become confident and capable individuals that are wellprepared for their journey in life.

Each of our campuses provides a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment for young people who may find it challenging to complete their education through the traditional school setting.

At Alesco, we:

  • Focus on working with students to create programs that better meet their individual needs, including smaller class sizes and a more relaxed and comfortable environment;
  • Acknowledge that students have life experience which informs the way they learn. This means there is no ‘one size fits all’ method. Each Alesco student, team, and campus is unique;
  • Encourage students to be selfmotivated. There is no emphasis on being ‘forced’ to go to school. Alesco is a choice;
  • Ensure that there is rigor in the educational program provided and that students have the opportunity to experience an adult learning environment and undertake a NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) based curriculum.

Waitlist Process

Throughout the year, we will review our waitlists to determine if we can reopen applications for campuses with a waitlist. Applicants who choose to remain on the waitlist will be considered for any vacancies that arise at the start of Term 1.

Important Note

Applications are held on file for six months. After this period, applicants will receive an email advising them to reapply if they wish to remain on the waitlist, as older applications will no longer be considered current.
