Embracing Excellence from Years 7 to 11

At The Hamilton and Alexandra College, we believe in nurturing the pursuit of excellence from an early age. The Edge program is tailored for students in Years 7 to 9, while the Excel program caters to students in Years 10 and 11. By offering these specialised programs, we aim to instill a love for learning and equip students with the skills they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
A Journey of Growth and Exploration
The Edge and Excel programs are not just about academics; they are about fostering a holistic approach to education. Students in these programs are encouraged to develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a thirst for knowledge. The journey begins in Term 1, where students engage in literacy and numeracy activities to enhance their foundational skills.

Personalised Learning and Development

As the program progresses into Term 2 and beyond, students have the opportunity to delve deeper into subjects that pique their interest. They work closely with specialist staff to identify a research goal and commit to improving their knowledge, motivation, and abilities. This personalised approach allows students to enrich their learning experience and cultivate a genuine passion for the world around them.
