The School
Canning College has been preparing senior secondary students to achieve entry into Australia's leading universities since 1982. As a specialist international education institution, it has established an outstanding reputation for providing local and overseas students with the personal and academic development and pathways required to succeed in tertiary studies.
Flexible entry points into Canning College's academic pathway programs allow international students to start studying in January, April, mid-year and October, which gives them the opportunity to enter university degree courses sooner. College staff are experienced in providing care, support and academic guidance to students to help them prepare better for the rigours of tertiary studies.
In the five years from 2019, the College's expert staff focused exclusively on providing pathway-to-university programs for international students. The reinstatement of domestic (local) students occurred in 2024. Since then, while continuing to focus on international students, the College also caters for local students seeking entry to university, primarily through Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) and Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) courses. Local student commencement may be in Year 10, Year 11, or Year 12/Year 12+.
Local and international students may enrol in Canning College's Intensive English Program, Year 10 WA Curriculum program, WACE ATAR or General programs, the College's Certificate IV in University Access Program, or the Western Australian Universities' Foundation Program. (Eligibility criteria apply for enrolment in the Certificate IV and Foundation programs.)
While Canning College has a special relationship with Western Australian universities, College graduates can enrol at all universities across Australia and at many universities across the world. Canning graduates have studied at universities in Australia, England, Ireland, America, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea and Singapore.
Canning College students pursue a wide range of degree courses including engineering, medicine, physiotherapy, education, law, pharmacy, nursing and computing.

Ideally, they should also display contemporary experience teaching the Diploma of Commerce that, at Canning College, articulates with the University of Western Australia and Curtin University Bachelor of Commerce programs; and Business/Computing subjects in the College's Certificate IV in University Access program.
The successful applicant will ideally demonstrate the passion, professional knowledge, and experience to develop and deliver high quality programs and high impact teaching strategies that engage young adult learners and motivate students to succeed with their studies toward university entry. They should display highly effective communication skills and strong ability to establish and maintain positive relationships with senior school students from a broad range of nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
