Benefits of Platinum Club

Students have opportunities to participate in academic, creative, sporting, study, careers and leadership programs that may lead to early entry or scholarships to university. Students are grouped with 'like minded' peers who are able to challenge and motivate each other.

Some of the strategies used for differentiation at Wyndham College include: 

  • accelerated & extension classes
  • enrichment programs 
  • advanced learning pathways
  • university & TAFE courses
  • compacted curriculum delivery  

As a result of this, the school maximizes the HSC and ATAR results and post school destination offers for Platinum students.


Selection of Students

Platinum students are selected based on their application, enrolment interview or school reports including information from their 7-10 school. A panel of staff at Wyndham College will select successful students however the Principal's decision is final. Students will be notified via email and invited to attend an induction morning at the College. 

Wyndham College students have successfully applied for universities, academies and scholarships globally over the past 20 years. Follow our social media accounts on Facebook | Instagram for student success stories:
