**Location Profile**:
Camperdown College is a proud member of the Great South West Coast Network of Government Schools; a co-educational P-12 school with a strong and proud tradition of supporting students to achieve successful outcomes. The school is located on Djargurd Wurrung country in the geographically unique Lakes and Craters district of south-west Victoria. The 2024 staff team of three principal class, 40 teachers and 18 education support staff in a diverse range of roles, while student enrolments grew to approximately 390.

Evidence-informed teaching practice supported by extensive resourcing continues to lay strong foundations in the early years, with strong emphasis on mastery in literacy and numeracy. The Junior Campus is a Training School for synthetic phonics and hosted over eighty teachers throughout terms 2/3 to witness and learn from the work that has been developed within the Literacy block. The learning progress of students across thirteen years of schooling is closely monitored and teachers work in professional learning teams to plan and teach for continuous improvement. Students have the opportunity to undertake tailored pathways which provide a strong foundation for further education, employment or other training programs. VCE, Vocational Major, VET, Structured Workplace Learning and School Based Apprenticeships enrich the offerings for senior students. Camperdown College students participate in a wide range of locally delivered vocational certificates through our own Corangamite Trade Training Cluster and SWTAFE, and a Hairdressing and Beauty training facility successfully operates on the Senior Campus site catering for students from our own and neighbouring schools. The College invests heavily in information and communication technology and all students from Years 3-12 have a dedicated laptop computer provided by the school, supplemented by a range of other devices.

The School Review provided an opportunity to celebrate our successes and identify opportunities for further growth. To effectively mobilise available resources to support students¿ wellbeing and mental health, especially the most vulnerable and to maximise learning growth for all students (support both those who need scaffolding and those who have thrived to continue to extend their learning, especially in numeracy) have been the goals set for the strategic plan. Building a shared understanding of student agency, implementing the Berry Street Education model, strengthening the delivery of Mathematics P-8 and teachers¿ use of HITS in secondary classrooms (including instructional model) will be the vehicles used to achieve these goals.

Students participate enthusiastically in an extensive camps program. This enabled all students to attend free of charge. In addition, a range of incursions were conducted at the Junior Campus using the same funding - dance and rapping workshops, Museum Victoria dinosaur and robotic exhibition and the Song Room Kaleidoscope program. A wide range of extension activities such as Hands on Learning, Instrumental Music, Year 9 School for Student Leadership, academic competitions, Drumbeat, High Ability programs, leadership forums and public speaking were offered to students. Involvement in sport is a valued aspect of the College curriculum, with renewed opportunities to participate in a wide range of individual and team sports at local, district, zone, state and national levels. A highlight was the Senior Secondary Bowls' team winning the state championship, as was the return of the debutante ball.
