DE Opportunities
A Learning Journey That’s
At ACC Southlands, Distance Education isn't just about what happens in lessons. It's about the whole student. From faith and friendships to creativity and real-world skills, our DE students are invited into a school experience that is full, connected, and deeply personal.
Here's a look at the many ways our students can engage, grow, and belong, wherever they are.
Faith & Connection
Spaces to Reflect, Belong & Grow.
All-In Assembly
All-In Assembly: A once-a-term gathering where students connect, reflect, and are encouraged as part of the ACC Southlands community.
Weekly Connect
Weekly Pastoral Care: A regular teleconference for Primary students to connect with their teacher and peers, discuss learning, and feel part of the school community.
JOLT
(Jesus Over Lunch Time)
A relaxed gathering where students can explore faith, enjoy connection, and be encouraged in their walk with Jesus.
Connect Days & Carnivals
Optional in-person events held across the state to help DE students meet, have fun, and feel part of something bigger.
Learning & Growth
Support that strengthens skills & confidence.
Class Tutorials
Live academic sessions to revisit key ideas, ask questions, and connect with teachers and classmates.
Pathway Preparation Course
A Year 10 course that helps Secondary students explore future study and career options, consider their strengths, and plan their next steps with confidence.
Practical Days
(Stage 6)
In-person learning for students enrolled in hands-on WACE subjects like Science, Technology.
These opportunities build not just academic confidence,
but resilience and independence too.
Creativity & Celebration
Moments to Express, Explore & Be Recognised.
Premier’s Reading Challenge
Encouraging a love for books and stories through a state-wide challenge.
CEM Portraiture Prize
A visual art competition exploring creativity, identity, and expression through portraiture.
Excelencia & Excelencia Live
Our College-wide recognition program, celebrating student excellence in academics, growth, service, and more, with live features and community celebration.
These are the moments where students are reminded:
what you're doing matters, and we see it.
These extra opportunities are part of what makes Distance Education at ACC Southlands so rich and meaningful. Whether it's pausing for Chapel, joining a Connect Day, or being recognised in Excelencia, we want our students to feel connected, not just to their learning, but to their purpose.
