The Kurnai College Statement of Purpose reads: To build a Learning Community with a global perspective which promotes respect and achievement.

We define a Learning Community as a community where:

- learning is our focus
- all members of the College Community accept the responsibility for increasing their own learning
- all members of the College Community accept the responsibility to assist others to increase their learning

The College's Four Pillars underpin all aspects of our work. They are Engagement, Excellence, Work Ethic and Relationships.

The current Strategic Plan focuses on building teacher capacity through Skilled Learning Teams, improved data literacy and assessment for learning practices. We also focus on creating positive learning environments through the Positive Behaviour Support framework incorporating a restorative approach that is informed by a knowledge of generational poverty and the Berry Street Education Model. The College values student, family, and teacher voice.

The College has moved to a collaborative approach to drive curriculum and pedagogical development.



The College has a team of instructional coaches to help build teacher capacity and provides instructional leadership development opportunities for teaching staff over the period of the current plan.

The College has developed a strong ICT network and continues to build its e-learning capacity at every opportunity.

We welcome all students to our College and are particularly proud of our efforts to be an inclusive learning community. The College has been recognised for its work in forging links with the Indigenous community and continues to welcome students from all backgrounds, working with all to achieve success. In recent years the College has changed its logo to better reflect our Koorie connection and respect for the Gunai Kurnai people.

The College works hard to connect with our local community to increase the number of Kurnai students in further education and training.

The College looks to the future with a sense of optimism and a positive frame of mind. With a stronger focus on our Koorie identity and on belonging to one College across five campuses, combined with an understanding of and commitment to our purpose, we move confidently forward striving to provide the best possible learning opportunities for all members of our learning community.
