Mansfield Secondary College, is a small, rural Victorian school, close to Mt Buller and the snow fields, which offers a wide range of education and training programs to support our students as they transition into adulthood.

COLLEGE VISION: A dynamic learning environment where the whole community takes responsibility in preparing for the future.

COLLEGE VALUES: The College is committed to a Positive Behaviours program, which aims to encourage student performance and lift engagement by explicitly teaching desired behaviours and using all opportunities to reward student efforts and performance. The program underpins an evolution of a school culture which is based on mutual respect.

CURRICULUM: Year 7 students study a common curriculum covering domains as outlined in the Victorian Curriculum. To aid transition, experienced staff work with students to develop student¿s knowledge and skills and to help socialise them into a new environment

Junior School students (Years 7-9) select individual electives, which enable them to develop their particular skills, talents and interests.

Senior students, (Years 10-12) can elect alternative pathways by selecting from a broad range of Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) units or undertake the Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE VM). The College is recognised for successfully linking these studies to Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Australian School Based Apprenticeship programs.

Counselling and support is provided for students from a range of professionals including Year Level Co-ordinators, social workers, psychologists and a school nurse.

STRATEGIC PLAN: The College Strategic Plan aims to improve student learning and engagement, teacher education and facilities. The Strategic Plan is available at the College website.
