25.01.2022 Just a reminder, we are up to date with our Enrolment Process. If you sent Pre Enrolment Paperwork BEFORE TODAY, you should have already heard back from us with the next step in the process. If you have not heard back PLEASE email us to clarify. We do not have much time left to complete the Enrolment Process and we WILL NOT be enrolling any family who has not completed the process by Friday 10th July. If you have emailed paperwork TODAY, we are still working through it and you will hear from us tonight

24.01.2022 We at PAC have a focus on Critical Thinking in our On Campus classrooms plus on our PA Days

24.01.2022 This is an excellent App for learning Auslan I have it written into the College work programs for students in various year levels If you are considering enrolling at PAC why not get this App while it is FREE

23.01.2022 We have engaged more staff for our Open Day to ensure we do not have to turn families away and we can keep Class Groups small. CLOSING DATE for RSVPs is on the THURSDAY 18th June. We will NOT accept late RSVPs

22.01.2022 The following families have NOT yet completed the enrolment process....please contact the College URGENTLY if you wish to proceed so the details can be sorted (in case this is an oversight on the Colleges behalf).

20.01.2022 Intensive Swimming Program What a fantastic day for it! #pinnacleacademiccollege #independentschool #oncampuseducation #distanceeducation #schoolswimming #swimprogram

20.01.2022 For those waiting to see where the Southside PA Days will be held, we are currently trying to secure a venue, however many places will not allow us to book anything whilst the current Covid-19 restrictions are in place despite us stating we do not want to meet until the restrictions have been lifted. So a southside venue may well NOT be determined before Enrolments are finalised. So if you are waiting for that information before enrolling it is best not to as we cannot guaran...tee you will get that information in time. The PA Days are ONLY compulsory TWICE a term, so wherever you live in the Greater Brisbane area, you will only ever be expected to attend twice a term, but will be welcome to attend every week and even twice a week if you would like to travel to the northside PA Days. Northside PA Days will occur at our On Campus College venue in Kallangur on a Thursday and everyone is welcome to attend those PA Days (but NOT expected to) until the Southside venue is finalised. We will NOT be expecting a twice a term attendance in Term 3 for those not living on the Northside due to our inability to secure a venue as early as possible, this will begin from Term 4 See more

19.01.2022 Well the PAC Open Day was a HUGE success. We had over 150 students and with parents and younger and older siblings there were well over 300 people on site. The staff were amazing and taught some incredible classes. Families all left with huge smiles with children begging to come back! I have received many messages and emails today thanking us for the Open Day.....this is what we like to see, families resonating with what we intend to provide!

18.01.2022 We are receiving many Enrolment Applications to become a Founding Family at PAC. Some exciting Performing Arts Activities with Elf the Musical in the works and Excursions like STEM at iFly in Chermside planned for Terms 3 and 4. All planning and reporting is done by PAC staff, so just get on with the business of Teaching your children and enjoying Family Life. The small enrolment fee covers all educational activities planned (Dance, Drama, Music, AUSLAN classes, once a Term excursions and Incursions). Get more for your money with Pinnacle. Give us a call on 0416 466 443 to discuss your options

18.01.2022 More resources for those studying Deaf Culture

18.01.2022 PAC Enrolments will be CLOSING on FRIDAY the 10th JULY. We cannot accept late enrolments as our funding rates are determined by the students enrolled on DAY ONE. Enrolment is NOT linked to attendance at the Open Day, so get your Pre Enrolment Paperwork in ASAP, so it can be approved and Enrolment Paperwork sent out so all payments can be processed by the 10th July. We would hate anyone who wants to enrol to miss out!

18.01.2022 Critical Thinking is so vital for people of all ages At PAC we LOVE Think Fun games They are SO worth the cost... In our resource room have most of the ones mentioned in this article....plus SO MANY MORE and we cannot wait to be using them again in our On Campus classrooms and maybe even within our PA Day format

10.01.2022 Auslan is our Language of choice at PAC. We look forward to being able to perform items like this with our students

09.01.2022 Well the venue is looking more and more like how we envision the College to be. All the resources were moved in yesterday, the break out room classroom was set up and the library was organised. The DE Office was organised and the staff room. The Reception and Principal office still need to be finished. Things are coming together nicely and we are very excited for the 13th July

09.01.2022 2021 ENROLMENT PROCESS HAS BEGUN FOR NEW ENROLMENTS Pre Enrolment forms are being emailed out to everyone who has expressed interest in a 2021 enrolment This email has the details for our upcoming Zoom Parent information evening including an extensive Q and A Session (at the end of October) and the scheduled Open Day for students to experience our Performing Arts Day (at the end of November)... If you have not yet formally expressed interest for 2021 and would like to, please email [email protected]

09.01.2022 Well an amazing first week at Pinnacle Academic College. We have increased our enrolments across the board in 2021 and expanded to two classes on campus. Our new team has settled in well and are working hard to get everything running smoothly. Our second week sees our Just Brass program re starting and our first PA Day on the Northside. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead!

08.01.2022 Spaces are filling for the Open Day on the 25th June. We may need to close it to additional families before the 18th June Deadline. SO PLEASE if you are interested (or know anyone who is interested and has not yet RSVPed), email us ASAP to express interest so we can determine final numbers and staff members

07.01.2022 PLEASE BE AWARE AND RESPECTFUL of the fact that we have a new and developing partnership with the Frederick Marsden Youth Centre Organisation and that our College Campus will be on their premises. We have NOT YET moved into the venue and will not have full access until the 13th July. PLEASE DO NOT turn up to the venue and commence walking around as you will be trespassing not to mention potentially damaging our new and blossoming partnership. A family just turned up to the pr...emises yesterday and commenced walking around and were not very polite with the FMYC staff who were on site. This is VERY rude and reflects badly on PAC. There is NOTHING to see, we have not yet started moving into the site. You can view Google Maps Photos or turn up to the Open Day (not that there will be a tour of the premises that day either as it is about the experience). FMYC Staff have been advised to call the police if this happens again, so please do NOT do it. Michelle Hornery Principal Pinnacle Academic College

07.01.2022 A great resource for Critical Thinking which we really value at PAC
