WCB – We Create Brilliance

Weeroona College Bendigo (WCB) is located on the northern side of Bendigo and currently has a population of 650 year seven to year ten students. We operate across two campuses with our main campus located on Napier Street, Bendigo and our second campus in Kangaroo Flat. The second campus (BFLO- Bendigo Flexible learning Options) is an alternative setting and is a collaborative partnership between the five Bendigo Secondary Colleges and Kalianna Specialist School that aims to reengage learners.

We have very strong educational partnerships with our associate primary schools in the White Hills cluster, the other three Bendigo year seven to ten colleges and Bendigo Senior Secondary College where our students transition for years eleven and twelve.

We are fortunate to have been totally rebuilt and our beautiful learning spaces provide for a wide range of flexible teaching and learning activities including: independent study, peer tutoring, small and large group work, project based learning, lecture based learning, seminar style learning, research, performances and presentations by students and learning by building and doing.

WCB has a firm commitment to maximising the educational opportunities for each and every one of our students and we place a high emphasis on all students achieving personal excellence, which is one of our five core values. Each student has a Personal Learning Plan where teachers and parents can track progress with their students to ensure that individual learning needs are met. Literacy and Numeracy are a high priority at Weeroona College Bendigo where we work to ensure that our teaching supports all students across the curriculum. We are a community of readers and encourage reading opportunities at school and at home and we have a personalised learning model for teaching Mathematics that supports individual learners.

Our College has made the development of a high quality curriculum that caters for the needs of all students a major priority over the past few years. A balanced core curriculum is offered for year seven and eight 8 students and year 9 & 10 students study a mixture of core and elective studies. Recently we have introduced a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) based curriculum across the college. Our year 10 students have access to VCE courses and our year 9/10 to VET programs with successful pathways to Bendigo Senior Secondary College, our year 11 and 12 provider.

WCB has a strong culture of extracurricular programs. We have a proud tradition in the Performing and Visual Arts including a well-supported instrumental music program, bands and arts spectaculars and College productions. The College also has very high standard sporting programs, where our students compete as the Weeroona Warriors. We are proud of our students who perform exceptionally well in a broad range of interschool sports activities. We have forged community partnerships with the YMCA Harriers, the Bendigo Umpires Association, the Sandhurst/Weeroona Cricket Club and the Bendigo & District Cricket Association as part of our Building Stronger Links Program. Another highlight of the College program is our participation in the RACV Energy Breakthrough competitions. The college has an outstanding record of success over many years and the students, staff and families involved have benefitted enormously from this program.

Weeroona College Bendigo places a high emphasis on caring for the wellbeing of each individual student. The College has a student wellbeing team consisting of two Social Workers, a Chaplain, a Koorie Education Support Officer, a School Nurse and we have a doctor (general practitioner) and clinical nurse on site one day per week in our Wellness Pod. An important component of the support we provide for each student is their Learning Advisor. The Advisor works to support each of their students by working closely with them for the time that they are a student at our College in all aspects of their wellbeing and education and through close tracking of their learning and contact with home.

We have developed a culture of high expectations for all our students and have embedded a learning protocol framework based on our school values: Respect, Integrity, Personal Excellence, Innovation and Resilience (RIPIR). To support this we have also developed a learning support plan that clearly articulates a consistent set of expectations by all staff through the use of a restorative approach.

Mount Evelyn Primary School (MEPS) is a progressive school providing individualised, child-centred learning that is characterised by a determination to assess and track each child’s individual learning needs across all learning domains. Learning takes place in a climate that values learning excellence, a sense of community, sustainability and enjoyment of learning. Personal values of integrity, care, respect and responsibility provide the foundations for achieving this. The school’s teaching and learning philosophy and principles are clearly articulated and made public via on the school’s website at www.mtevelynps.vic.edu.au

We believe that learning is a journey, not a race. Whilst each child may make that journey in their own unique way, given adequate time, guidance and support, all can make the journey.

Our school exhibits a willingness to continuously reflect upon, and if necessary challenge, existing practice. This is nowhere more evident than in the early years and we are using a contemporary, evidence-based approach to learning based on the principles of early childhood learning. We refer to this approach as Developmental Learning. Our developmental approach is child-centred and explicit planning for learning and teaching is done across cognitive, social, emotional, physical and communication domains. This approach, first introduced through the early years commencing from 2006, is now in place at all Levels with a significant emphasis upon inquiry-based learning.

Engagement of students is a key driver of learning and there is an emphasis at MEPS upon authentic learning through Investigations in the early years and Educational Research Projects in the later years. Relationship building is also of key importance at our school. There is an acknowledged ethos in the school of ‘our kids’ rather than ‘my kids’ and we look to teachers to build each class, and the school as a whole, as a robust learning community.

A major emphasis for our school is to ensure that we are teaching children to become lifelong learners and to not just see school primarily as a place of knowledge acquisition. Emphasis is placed upon the use of thinking tools and our students are specifically taught the importance of self management, working collaboratively and taking responsibility.

Our teaching staff are expected to demonstrate high quality teaching skills and have the ability to successfully employ flexible, contemporary approaches to learning. Collaborative team planning and where appropriate, a team approach to the delivery of learning, are seen as a critically important part of our teaching approach. To ensure consistency across the school, approaches to teaching are whole school from Foundation to Level 6, particularly in the areas of Literacy.

Established in 1910, the school services a very demographically diverse urban fringe community. The school is actively involved in the community and over two thirds of the children come from one of three local pre-schools. Families vary from those on acreage to those in dual housing allotments or in rental accommodation.

The Mount Evelyn Primary School community is seen to be highly involved, with the participation of parents strongly encouraged. Parents assist in classrooms and support programs, School Council, Parents’ Association and fundraising, and the development and maintenance of the school grounds.

Mount Evelyn Primary School is seeking staff who are committed to a progressive approach to learning and who are committed, flexible and keen to work in a team-oriented school environment. A strong work ethic, excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to inspire students are seen as essential qualities.

Grovedale College is a medium sized College with an enrolment of 900 plus students located in a semi rural setting serving the southern suburbs of Geelong, together with the rural and surf coast communities to the south, east and west. Extensive educational resources enable Grovedale College to provide an academic focus together with many Arts, Sciences, Sports and Technology opportunities. VCE enhancement subjects, VCAL and VET Courses, provide many new opportunities for University and TAFE studies and exciting pathways to the future. Excellence, achievement and improvement are central to all College programs. Grovedale College operates the Grovedale P – 12 Deaf Facility in conjunction with Grovedale West Primary School.

In recent years a multi million dollar-building program has provided the College with excellent physical resources. Such resources enable us to enhance our programs and deliver an exciting, challenging and fulfilling experience. Our facilities include a state of the art computer network linking all classrooms, computer pods, a computerized Library Resource Centre, Senior School Study Centre, Technology Wing, Visual and Performing Arts Studios, Gymnasium, Fitness Centre, sports ovals and courts.

The Arts/Technology facilities and some general purpose classrooms have benefited from a $3 million upgrade. The design for these new facilities is based on a pedagogy best described as interactive experiential leaning (ieLearning). Our new Language/Learning Centre has been designed around our focus on collaborative learning.

Ongoing curriculum reform and refinement has resulted in structural change such as the creation of two sub schools, the introduction of a Home group Program, compact teacher teams and most importantly a series of initiatives based around the concepts of active curriculum, higher order thinking and a multidisciplinary approach to planning and learning. The success of these programs provides strategies and examples of success on which the pedagogy of interactive experiential learning can utilise and extend.

At Grovedale our approaches to Teaching and Learning recognize that students and staff must be able to use computers and electronic learning technologies with confidence and understanding to enhance their teaching and learning as well as their ability to participate in evolving information technologies. The use of learning technologies in the classroom is a priority at Grovedale. All students and staff have access to extensive College computer resources including the College Intranet/Gateway and the Internet. A combination of eLearning devices are used compulsorily across the College.

Sport is prominent in the life of Grovedale College. An extensive interschool and house sport program provide students with the opportunity to develop personal skills and fitness and to enjoy the benefits of teamwork in a spirit of healthy competition. Our unique location and proximity to the Surf Coast, Corio Bay, Port Phillip Bay and the Otway Ranges allows for a comprehensive outdoor education and excursions program to operate. Surfing, kayaking, snorkelling, body boarding, windsurfing, bike riding, horse riding, rock climbing and lifesaving are all part of the program. The development of the Grovedale Education and Sporting Precinct coupled with the introduction in 2005 of a Sports Academy program provides students with the opportunity to pursue an elite sports pathway. The Precinct is indicative of strong community based links.

The College successfully participates in Public Speaking programs, Inter-School Debating and Australian subject competitions that include English, Mathematics, Science, Arts and Technology. Student leadership is an integral part of our school culture. An active leadership program exposes students to challenges, which develop personal and social skills, confidence, initiative and self-reliance. This is achieved through a broad range of activities such as Student Council, Peer Helpers, Supportive Friends and camps program. The College also conducts an Advance Program at Year 10. Performing Arts are well catered for in the College, with performance opportunities in workshops, GAFFA and production.

College Leadership programs have been enhanced by staff and students working with Leading Teams and refining the College based implementation. Performance and Development Culture is a Grovedale College priority. Regular formal and informal feedback is provided to staff members. The College Leadership Team meets weekly to oversee the College vision and its implementation. A culture of continuous improvement, accountability and of high level instructional leadership is an expectation of all staff.
