Words From Our Community
My daughter started at Arcadia College in year 10, after 3 terms of total disengagement from school due to crippling anxiety. Now completing year 12 (and a pathway to university course). her attendance is above 90%, her participation in class & extra curricular activities is amazing, but most importantly the smile on her face at the end of the day is priceless. Thank you to all the amazing staff @Arcadia College for your support, knowledge and kindness, you have made our futures much brighter.
