Location Profile
Established in **** and located in the South Gippsland Shire, Mirboo North Secondary College is a small rural college. We are proud of our long history as a community-oriented College offering a high-quality education to all students. We emphasise the merit of a robust partnership between our students, staff, parents and the local community. Mirboo North Secondary College is a modern, well-appointed single-campus college with a population of approximately 330 students and 50 staff members.
MNSC is a Year 7 - 12 setting with a close working relationship with Mirboo North Primary School; including shared administration building, library and student services arrangements. The College culture is based on our vision and our core values consistent with a proud academic history and focus on - Respect, Trust and Pride. We balance this with essential Literacy and Numeracy mastery to ensure our learners know how to strive, to improve, to be their best and succeed.
We are extremely proud of our solid sense of community and we embrace individuals' differences and learning needs. Promoting and modelling respect, positive attitudes and behaviours is our core approach to teaching and learning. Strong mutual respect between our students, staff and the parent/carer community enables high expectations and we all aspire to improve student outcomes.
We are a Respectful Relationships school and endeavour to prepare our students for the social, emotional, physical and technical skill requirements for jobs of the future. Skills development is fundamental in our whole-school curriculum and our staff collaborate to guarantee our planning and classroom strategies encouraging the growth of every individual. We want all students who learn at Mirboo North Secondary College to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence in themselves, so that whatever their chosen pathway, they move into their future as well-rounded and capable of meeting challenges.
Our Student Representative Council, known as VOS ¿ Voice of Students, plays an active role in providing feedback to staff and College Leadership about our Teaching and Learning Program. VOS members lead various school and year-level assemblies, as well as leading aspects of our House Cup system, the development of our annual school magazine, managing sport equipment lunchtime borrowing and incorporating awareness days for a variety of campaigns and initiatives that are important to our community.
Student management is organised in Middle School - Year 7, 8 and 9 and Senior School - Year 10, 11 and 12, with each led by a 3-staff member coordination team. At Year 7 and 8 students undertake a broad learning program to experience subjects across all domain areas and then at Year 9 and 10, students are guided to select a more personalised range of elective subjects to tailor their learning program. Teaching and Educational Support staff are passionate about education and working with young people in a safe, positive, challenging and caring environment.
The overall curriculum program from Years 7 - 10 affords students the opportunity to develop skills necessary to transition well to their chosen senior secondary certificate pathway.
Both VCE and VM pathways are offered for Year 11 and 12 students to complete their senior secondary school certificate and both pathways, accommodate the option of undertaking Vocational and Educational Training (VET). We have strong links with several external TAFE and RTO providers to enable this as well as being closely linked with the HeadStart Program. University enhancement programs are available options for capable students who are encouraged to compete at this level.
