FAQS
Can I follow my own program?
All enrolled families are required to complete the Pinnacle Academic College Distance Education Program, which is uploaded to the Sentral Parent Portal as this covers all requirements of the Australian Curriculum.
Do we have to complete a textbook based program?
No. PAC uses a mix of textbooks, staff designed programs, videos and external websites as well as our extensive incursion and excursion programs to meet the requirements of the Australian Curriculum.
The PAC program will be modified to suit the student and all individual adjustments made will be noted on the Individual Learning Pathway (ILP).
Do I have to be available to supervise my student if we are enrolled in Pinnacle Academic College as a Distance Education Family?
Yes. A Distance Education (DE) enrolment requires a supervising adult to be with the child when course work is being completed. Alternatively, look at our on campus option where students are supervised by Registered Teachers whilst they are on campus. Pinnacle Academic College (PAC) is about choice for your family’s educational needs.
What is your homework policy?
At PAC, our on-campus students will not be set homework. All required work will be completed during school hours. If students choose to complete work at home, that is their choice.
What sort of excursions do you provide?
PAC provides a variety of excursions and various incursions (on campus for all interested students) each term for those who choose to participate. Excursions to theme parks, etc, always include an educational talk/experience.
Examples of excursions could include: Australia Zoo, Sea World, Outback Spectacular etc.
Examples of Incursions could include: Robotics Workshops, Visual Art Workshops, Living History Australia Presentation etc. All these experiences will enhance the Distance Education (DE) or On-Campus program students are involved in.
Do you offer extra-curricular activities?
Yes, there may be opportunity to partake in extra-curricular activities during the year. Details will be provided to enrolled families during the year
What are the PA Days?
Once a week, at our Kallangur campus, Pinnacle Academic College (PAC) will conduct full-day curricular and co-curricular activities for Distance Education (DE) students. On these days, areas of the Australian curriculum within our work program will be taught. PAC has registered teachers to deliver both lessons and assessments. The PAC Work Program has activities written in to cover The Arts, STEM, Auslan, HASS and HPE.
How is completed work sent to Pinnacle Academic College?
Compulsory assessments require original, correctly labelled work, therefore will be collected by post or in person. The education program includes the deadline dates for compulsory assessment tasks (PAC SATs) as well as any other relevant deadlines. Non compulsory/ by choice assessments are to be emailed to assessments.
