Education options in NSW – Multi-campus colleges and rural and distance education

A multi-campus college comprises a number of campuses that work together as a single educational entity across a number of separate sites. Each campus is usually specialised in the sense that it targets the needs and interests of a particular group of students. For example, junior secondary campuses are designed to support the learning needs of young adolescents, while senior secondary campuses are designed to provide a more adult learning environment for post-compulsory students. A number of multi-campus colleges are co-located with TAFE and university campuses.

Rural and distance education
The Department of Education has distance education provisions in place to deliver fulltime educational programs to students who are isolated or whose special circumstances prevent them from attending school on a regular basis. Single-subject (Years 9-12) programs are also provided to specific categories of students. Schools in remote areas are also given support through the NSW Country Areas Program (CAP). Distance education provision is available from 16 locations across the state.
