Our college provides a high-quality educational experience and offers flexible programs catering for all student interests, needs and abilities.

The Education Support program also provides opportunities, activities and facilities for students with special needs to master skills that will make them successful members of society. A highly collaborative approach is adopted to support students in working toward achieving their IEP goals.

Ballajura CC is culturally diverse with more than fifty nationalities found within the whole learning community. It is an accredited International Fee-Paying School. This diversity adds to the richness and the quality of the educational experience for all students. Our college provides an extra-curricular program with strong sporting, cultural, artistic, public speaking, service and leadership opportunities that continues to flourish and complement the more formal learning experienced by our students.
