What Claremont College Offers Year 11 and 12 Students

Updated

Claremont College is a senior secondary school in Tasmania for students in Years 11 and 12, located about 15 km from Hobart overlooking the Derwent River. It offers courses that prepare students for university or further education, traineeships and apprenticeships, or employment, and it supports that academic range with tutorial and enrichment programs, smaller classes, and access to modern facilities. It is the right fit if you are finishing Year 10 and want a dedicated senior secondary environment rather than staying at a Year 7–12 school.

Who the College Serves

Claremont College was established in 1990 and draws students from a mix of city and rural areas across the Midlands and Derwent Valley. That catchment matters practically: if you live outside Hobart's northern suburbs, the college is built around serving a dispersed student body rather than a single local neighbourhood.

The college describes itself as friendly in size, which it links directly to smaller classes and easier access to facilities and teaching staff. For a Year 11 student, that usually means less competition for attention and equipment than at a large campus.

Study Pathways

The college frames its course range around three destinations after Year 12:

Destination What the college says it prepares you for
University or further education Courses within a broad senior secondary program
Traineeships and apprenticeships Course options aligned to these pathways
Employment Courses leading toward work

The site does not publish a full course list on the page reviewed, so check the Courses section of the website or contact the college directly for specific subjects and prerequisites.

Tutorial and Enrichment Programs

Beyond timetabled classes, Claremont College runs a "comprehensive tutorial and enrichment program." The stated purpose is a balanced, personalised education — in practice, this is the part of the program to ask about if you need extra academic support in a subject or want extension work beyond the standard course.
