**COLLEGE PROFILE**

Greater Shepparton Secondary College was formed by the merger of four secondary colleges in Shepparton and Mooroopna, as part of the Shepparton Education Plan. A new College in Hawdon Street will be completed and ready for occupation in 2022. A Rural Annex is also an integral component of the College and has been created to serve the needs of the students requiring more supports than are available in the mainstream settings.

Greater Shepparton City Council (GSCC), located 180 kilometres north of Melbourne, with a population of 66,000, is the fifth-largest city in regional Victoria and consists of Shepparton City, Mooroopna and Tatura. 75% of the municipality’s population live in Shepparton and Mooroopna. The area is a culturally and linguistically diverse community with almost one quarter of the population born overseas, including recent arrivals and refugees from Africa and the Middle East. It has Victoria’s largest concentration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people outside of Melbourne. There are over 6,000 businesses and a workforce of 30,000.

The establishment of the new Secondary College in Shepparton is the initial phase of the Shepparton Education Plan, which aims to improve educational outcomes for P-12 and beyond. The plan will improve transitions, pathways and opportunities for students through improving teacher capacity, resources and a contemporary school infrastructure. The Shepparton Education Plan and the creation of a revitalised secondary school model is the outcome of longer-term work by schools and consultation with the community to collaboratively improve learning opportunities, community engagement and educational outcomes.

The development of the new Secondary College in Shepparton provides exciting opportunities for the successful applicant to contribute to the transformation of secondary curriculum, pedagogy and student connection and to build community participation and ownership of the new school.

On completion, the school will include:

- Approximately 2500 students arranged in nine houses of 300 year 7-12 students.
- New school facilities with contemporary shared teaching and learning spaces and specialist areas
The location of the new College is the site of the existing Shepparton High School in Hawdon Street, Shepparton. The site offers many opportunities being in close proximity to the Shepparton Campuses of Latrobe and Melbourne Universities and Goulburn Ovens TAFE, and to commercial and cultural precincts. This will support the development of student pathway options and community engagement.
This is a significant career opportunity to reframe the trajectory of a community through prioritising the education of its young people with a focus on creating high quality engagement, pedagogy and facilities.
The transformational change involved in the development of the new Secondary College will require an applicant with skills that support a high level of engagement and consultation with students, staff, parents and the broader community as the culture, learning focus and organisation of the campus are developed, implemented and refined.
