Cranbrook’s Year 12 College
The Year 12 College is an important facility which provides a bespoke working environment for our most senior students. The College has an emphasis on the centrality of intellectual exchange. Bridging the gap between Year 12 and university, the varied individual room layout effectively facilitates collegial learning by Year 12 students.
Its rooms incorporate a diversity of learning options, from individual focus study areas to small group seminar and study fellowship seminar learning given by leading educationalists and visiting fellows. Lectures, seminars and tutorials are all held in the College, mirroring the teaching and learning style of university.
