**Location Profile**:

- Dromana College is located on the Mornington Peninsula, approximately 85km south of Melbourne. The college has a student population of 1850. Students are bussed in from all parts of the Mornington Peninsula with more than 20 primary schools providing Year 7 students each year.
- The college has a Student Family Occupation index (SFOE) of 0.46 and an SFO of 0.54, which reflects a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds within the student population. Almost all students come from families of an English speaking background.
- Dromana College has worked extremely hard to establish itself as an educator of choice within the local area. Our College is committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all our students. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and orderly environment and on maintaining a culture where students willingly embrace our clearly defined values of respect, responsibility, integrity and personal best. Building an outstanding learning and teaching program upon these foundations has then become the ongoing focus of the college.
- The Year 7/8 program focusses on building students core skills and providing them with broad access to all eight Learning Domains. Year 7/8 also has a strong Pastoral Care program that focusses on developing strong positive relationships between students and their peers, between teachers and students and between our teaching staff and the parent and wider school community. Year 7 students and their team of teachers make use of an exclusive Year 7 area that ensures the transition into the college is student focussed, supportive and positive.
- Within the Senior School students are able to access a broad range of Year 10 and VCE electives. Year 10 students are strongly encouraged to access VCE Unit 1 and 2 electives, whilst the Year 11 and 12 VCE and Vocational Major Programs cater to a broad range of pathways to ensure the individual needs of all students are met. VET Programs are available for students to access in Year 10, 11 and 12.
- In recent years the College infrastructure has undergone significant development to cater to the increasing student population. The development of a state of the art Design Centre and Language Centre as well as the installation of multipurpose courts, playground equipment and the upgrading of the college environment has had a positive impact on our ability to meet student learning needs and on the culture of the college.
- Of course quality teaching staff is the most important factor in any classroom. Dromana College has an excellent reputation for attracting and retaining motivated and committed staff and for developing staff and facilitating collaborative work practices to ensure that the needs of all Dromana College students are fully met.
