Our staff

We are very fortunate to have wonderful staff, all committed to the betterment of students' life skills, vocational opportunities, and academic pathways. Our school enables a range of professional learning opportunities for our staff due to our diverse educational program. 

The town of Young is a thriving community catering to a broad range of personal interests. The combination of personal and professional opportunities, as well as the town's proximity to Canberra, makes Young an ideal consideration for relocation.
