Educational Standards
RLC is generally a high-achieving school, with most senior school-leavers scoring strongly in the Overall Position (OP) score. In 2008, 9 students received an OP 1. RLC is also opening up the options available to students, adding TAFE courses and apprenticeships to its curriculum.. The ethos of the school, however, is on participation rather than a striving for excellence, in both academic and co-curricular activities..

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or standards:
“If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
