Connell staff have the rare opportunity to be a catalyst for social change by transforming the lives of the young people in the communities that we serve. We are a small college, and we know all our staff and students well. We work in a modern building and embrace the latest technology.

The college experience we offer has a significant impact on every student, and we work to ensure that they enjoy learning, excel in their chosen subjects and exceed prior expectations to achieve their goals. If you share our belief that poverty and deprivation should never limit the quality of a young person’s educational experience or their levels of achievement, then we would love to hear from you.
