Ryde Secondary College is a co-educational high school, offering a comprehensive and quality education for all students from Years 7-12. It is a partially selective high school offering two academically selective classes in each year from Years 7-10.

An additional gifted and talented class is offered in each year group, selected using school-based assessments. In most years, three additional mainstream classes are also offered.

The College also provides differentiated learning for students with special needs, with three classes in the Support Unit.

SchoolTV

Because parenting doesn’t come with instructions, SchoolTV is a wellbeing resource that can support you in the challenges relating to modern-day parenting.

This award-winning resource helps build relationships, foster connections, enable understanding and break down barriers to navigate a pathway towards better mental health and wellbeing for young people. It can assist in starting conversations on topics that are sometimes awkward or difficult to tackle.
