The School Canning College has been preparing senior secondary students to achieve entry into Australia’s leading universities since 1982. As a specialist international education institution, it has established an outstanding reputation for providing local and overseas students with the personal and academic development and pathways required to succeed in tertiary studies. Flexible entry points into Canning College’s academic pathway programs allow international students to start studying in January, April, mid-year and October, which gives them the opportunity to enter university degree courses sooner. College staff are experienced in providing care, support and academic guidance to students to help them prepare better for the rigours of tertiary studies. In the five years from 2019, the College’s expert staff focused exclusively on providing pathway-to-university programs for international students. The reinstatement of domestic (local) students occurred in 2024. Since then, while continuing to focus on international students, the College also caters for local students seeking entry to university, primarily through Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) courses. Local student commencement may be in Year 10, Year 11, or Year 12/Year 12.
