Wyndham College is a government senior secondary school located at Quakers Hill, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1999, its intake of students comes from three surrounding high schools, namely Quakers Hill High School, Riverstone High School, and (Seven Hills High School ). They, with Wyndham College, make the Nirimba Collegiate Group of Schools. The Collegiate group operates in such a way that each school maintains its independence yet they are closely related through the collaborative leadership of the four principals involved and through sharing at all levels including staffing and resources. The College is situated on the Nirimba Education Precinct co-located with: the University of Western Sydney, Blacktown; Western Sydney Institute of TAFE-Nirimba College and Terra Sancta College, Senior Campus. Set in a bushland environment, Wyndham College has native award winning gardens and a tributary of Eastern Creek flows through the campus. The College provides an academic and vocational subject offering for students with a range of learning experiences. Students have the opportunity to access courses offered by the College, University and TAFE. The HSC Life Skills Program is provided for support students identified with mild or moderate disabilities. Visual artworks completed by students from the college are regularly nominated and featured in Art Express. ==History== Wyndham College was named after the previous NSW Director General of Education, Harold Wyndham who was visionary in implementing the HSC for Year 12 students and the School Certificate for Year 10 students. The structure of the Nirimba Collegiate recognises that an emphasis on links between Universities, TAFE Colleges and schools helps to cater for the needs of all students in an "adult style" learning environment. It allows students to be treated as "seniors" in the luxury of a separate campus from the collegiate Years 7-10 schools. Wyndham College is built on the former site of the naval training base , and the campus derives its name, "Nirimba Education Precinct", from this historical connection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wyndham College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
