**Location Profile**:
Kambrya College is a co-educational Government secondary school in Berwick, Victoria, Australia. In 2024, we have a student population of over 2100 students. We offer a broad range of programs from Year 7-12, culminating in highly effective VCE (academic and vocational majors) programs in the senior years. Our VCE results place us in the top 13% of Victorian Government Secondary Schools.

Our staff culture is one of both high expectations and collective efficacy. Our annual DET staff opinion survey results consistently show that we are 10-20% above the state average in all core indicators, such as school climate, collective efficacy, collective focus on student learning, and staff trust in colleagues. Overall, our staff survey results show that for school climate indicators we are in the top 10% of all Victorian Government Schools. Our College also has a strong focus on developing leadership skills for staff, and we have a broad range of leadership positions available for staff to progress their careers. We take particular pride in our approach to supporting and mentoring teachers who are new to the profession.

Kambrya College provides outstanding support and opportunities for all teachers to develop their skills. Our school culture is extremely positive, with Department of Education School Staff Survey results above the 90th percentile in many categories. For example, our "Staff Trust in Colleagues" component in 2023 was in the 92nd percentile in the state.

Graduate teachers are extensively supported to achieve their full registration with VIT, through a simple and streamlined process with extensive support. In addition to the regular 5% reduction, our beginning teachers have their teaching load further reduced to give them access to DE's "Career Start Program" which includes PD and additional mentoring.

The career opportunities at Kambrya College are vast. With a structured Leadership Development Program, one-to-one GROWTH coaching for all teachers and tiered opportunities for leadership and development, we have an extremely high staff retention rate.

In the Junior School (Years 7-9) we operate four vertical sub-schools which each reflect one of our core values (integrity, achievement, respect and compassion). Students join one of these four sub schools and remain in this sub school with their peers and a core group of teachers until the end of Year 9. Senior School students are still part of a sub school however they have their own separate buildings and facilities including a study room and access to a small kitchen.

Our College has a great range of facilities, including seven fully functional science laboratories, three kitchens (including one hospitality centre), a three court gymnasium complex, a 200 seat performing arts theatre, woodwork and systems technology rooms and art studios. The College has a strong focus on developing numeracy and literacy skills for all students and has a range of programs to support student development. To support aspiring athletes, the College also runs an Athlete Development Program and has recently constructed a new fitness centre to support their program. For those with a passion for performing arts, the College offers a Musician Development Program (MDP) with a large number of bands/ensembles, specialist instrumental staff, a variety of instruments to learn and numerous opportunities to perform. The annual College Production brings together all aspects of visual and performing arts and remains one of the prized all-inclusive student events on the calendar each year. Our vocational training facilities for senior students include fully equipped centres for Building and Construction, Plumbing, Hairdressing, Beauty Services, Hospitality and Kitchen Operations, and Sport and Recreation Management. At the end of 2024 a stunning new two-story building will be opened, along with an extension to the science wing of two additional chemistry classrooms.

Kambrya builds and maintains strong international connections with sister schools in Japan and Germany. Furthermore, the College facilitates a range of Australian based camps and experiences for students.

We have a strong focus on student health, engagement and wellbeing, and we are use a _School Wide Positive Behaviour System _to recognise student behaviours and create a culture of mutual respect. We have a large Student Health, Wellbeing and Engagement Centre which hosts a range of clinicians and counsellors to support students. We have a range of tailored programs to support both the emotional and academic development of our students.

Our annual Student Attitudes to School survey results demonstrate that we are a school on a strong trajectory of improvement, and in the last five
