We are focussed on removing administrative burden from our teaching staff and our structures and approach to student engagement supports a collective focus on student learning and engagement.

The College has an enrolment of over 1300 students from Year 7 to Year 12 and a staff of 150+.

Approximately 1% of our students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

Our curriculum programs place Literacy and Numeracy at the core of our practice, providing students with broad access to the pathways they wish to explore and pursue. The design of curriculum is further underpinned by student voice and choice, VCE pathways and our collective knowledge of the educational demands of our student community. Our Senior students pathway into a diverse range of vocations and university courses and we are proud of our strong track record of academic performance.

The professional growth of staff is paramount to our goals as a college. We continually offer diverse and engaging professional development opportunities that are driven by student and staff need. Staff meetings are designed to facilitate collaboration and learning, free from administrivia.

Student leadership, voice and agency is central to our work. Students have multiple opportunities to make decisions about their own learning and the direction of the College more generally, providing input into how we engage with the Community, Teaching and Learning, Environment and Student Engagement and Wellbeing. Students drive our RISE Model which stems from our school values of: Respect, Inclusion, Stamina and Excellence.

Where students require support in the classroom we offer additional staffing within the class, who work to extend and support small groups of students. We are committed to developing happy, healthy and resilient children and we have invested significantly in student wellbeing expertise including: a large Student Wellbeing Team, Mental Health Practitioner, Doctors In Schools Program, Youth and Social Workers, School Nurse and a dedicated Inclusion Program.
