Location Profile

Social, Community and Demographics:

* The school population displays a huge range of abilities and aspirations. The College aims to provide a broad and excellent education that meets a wide range of needs and abilities and retain all students to Year 12.

Educational:
* Structure - traditional years levels with three sub-schools (Years 7 & 8, Middle Years 9 & 10, Years 11 & 12)
* Strategies such as the use of cross-year level ability groupings, extension groupings, accelerated programs and team teaching are used to cater for the needs of all students.
* Low staff-student ratios and excellent relationships between staff and students.
* High student, staff and parent survey results over the last few years show a high level of satisfaction on the part of all groups in the school community. Strength areas include student connectedness and leadership, taking parent concerns seriously, staff consultation and community involvement.
* School size and a diverse student population mean that providing students with a diverse range of earning experiences from our resource base is a major challenge. This is particularly the case in the senior years where there have been changing demands in recent years. VCAL has become a popular alternative to the VCE, whilst up to 50% of senior students have undertaken a VET subject.
* Student Engagement and Wellbhool's own values and underpin the behaviours the community expects of Victorian public sector employees, including those who work in Victorian Government Schools. Information on the department values is available at:
