De La Salle Catholic College Caringbah (Boys) and Our Lady of Mercy Catholic College Burraneer (Girls) offer a unique and highly individualised Year 11 and 12 student experience like no other.

The HSC Enrichment Program is a transformational educational journey for those who want to achieve academically, manage wellbeing and grow their crucial support network, providing the best chance for them to step into a post-secondary world of choices and opportunities.

The program is designed to offer dedicated and personalised support made possible by our boutique setting and exclusive cohort.

This distinctive program of personalised attention encompasses three integrated modes of support:

  • Focused Wellbeing
  • Academic Mentoring
  • Supportive Connection

The program is designed to filter out distractions and create a supportive, stress-managed environment for learning to make the final two years of secondary school not only personally rewarding, but a memorable and enriching experience, bridging the journey to adulthood.

The HSC Enrichment Program helps each student achieve their HSC goals, articulate their dreams for the future, create a tactical study plan, and be assisted every step of the way as they work towards making their dreams a reality.
