Collective responsibility

Collective focus on student learning.

Our strategic intent incorporates a focus on maintaining student engagement in learning so that students are able to complete their secondary education and make the transition to a meaningful and sustainable post school destination. Excellent results in VCE ensure that over 97% of our students secure a tertiary placement in either University or TAFE. Our VCE
- Vocational Major and Victorian Pathway Certificate programs provides students with the opportunity to engage in applied learning whilst completing vocational qualifications and gaining vital industry experience. Students in Years 10-12 are able to incorporate a range of VET programs into their senior secondary learning program.

An important focus of our College is to support our students to learn effectively and to develop positive attitudes and behaviours. This can only be achieved when our students, parents and teachers work together in partnership. We endeavour to provide a learning environment that will nurture personal development and establish a strong connectedness to school. All staff and College Council members share a high regard for the trust which parents/guardians place in us and the College is conscious of the need for regular and accurate communication with parents. Student data is regularly updated and shared with families via the Compass Portal. Working together as a learning community is essential to maximise student outcomes and prepare students for successful pathways and lives in the future. The Careers and Pathways team is a central component of supporting our students to achieve success at school and beyond. Our curriculum and wellbeing programs promote academic rigor and achievement whilst providing structure and care to support our students and their families to achieve rewarding personal and academic outcomes.
