The College takes its responsibility for student well-being and the development of student excellence and voice very seriously. As a College, we recognise multiple types of intelligence. We reward practical problem solving, creativity, lateral thinking, building, fixing, designing and innovating. Every student benefits from a curriculum designed to encourage individuality and creativity.
Student Wellbeing
The College has a youth worker, careers advisor, integration teachers, and support teachers available to provide advice and assistance. All students have a form teacher/mentor and some programs have additional staff with the specific role of student wellbeing. Across the college there are program and year level leaders responsible for overseeing the progress and wellbeing of all students.
“Students are treated as adults here. There are incredibly positive relationships established between staff and students right from the get go, right from the start.”
– Anne Connors (VCE Studio Arts, VCE Product Design & Technology)
“I definitely get a sense that students and teachers are on a very level playing field and they’re always happy to have one-on-one individual learning.”
– Anthony Stevens (NCAT Media Student)
“You take those contacts with you into the industry; fostering those relationships is really quite important.”
– Mason Peart (NCAT Multimedia Student)
