Belonging | Understanding | Respect | Growth

We welcome passionate and imaginative educators into our learning community. We are committed to supporting and valuing staff in their professional practice and growth through:

- belonging to an inclusive and multicultural community
- knowing that together we make a difference
- intellectual and practical engagement in our profession
- teaching for conceptual understanding.

Our community

Located on the lands of the Wurundjeri people, our community is wonderfully diverse, with more than fifty language backgrounds represented among our families and staff. This diversity is one of our greatest strengths, and we draw on it to build a sense of Belonging for every student and family.

Our dedicated team of multicultural and integration staff helps build robust connections between the college and our families, so that families feel welcome and their voices are heard. Through events and performances throughout the year, students and families share their cultures, languages and traditions with the wider school community. When students see their own backgrounds reflected and valued at school, they are better able to feel that they belong and to succeed in their learning.





Our organisational model

Each cohort is led by an Assistant Principal and a Leading Teacher (PEG), who move with their students from Year 7 through to Year 12. This continuity embeds relational pedagogy and reflects our values of Belonging and Understanding.

Our meeting structure supports this model and is built around four foci: Professional Culture, Knowing our Students, Curriculum, and Pedagogy. Staff work collaboratively in meeting time, moving through each focus in a connected sequence using the Inquiry Cycle framework.

Our frameworks

We have achieved Gold status in embedding School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS). We are now developing an inclusive school framework closely aligned with the Framework for Improving Student Outcomes (FISO) and the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0). This work is guided by our goal of building integrated multi-tiered systems of support, and we welcome educators who are inspired by it.

At Craigieburn Secondary College, we teach for understanding. We focus our professional growth on ensuring that all students have access to, and success in, their academic and social learning.

Supporting our students

Many of our students face challenges at home.



We support them through breakfast and homework clubs and a dedicated allied health team that includes counsellors, youth workers, mental health practitioners and a speech pathologist. Targeted fluency and tutoring programs support learning, and our learning partners make sure that Individual Learning Plans are developed and implemented effectively.

Joining our team

New staff are supported through a structured induction program that includes dedicated time release for mentoring and coaching. Our values of Belonging and Respect place strong relationships between staff, students and families at the centre of our practice. You¿ll build these relationships quickly through form teacher roles, community events and extra-curricular opportunities.

Growing your practice

Staff have many opportunities to extend their practice through leadership responsibilities and positions that promote individual and professional growth. These opportunities reflect our commitment to students¿ personal and educational growth through:

- student voice and agency
- applied learning
- restorative practices
- community leadership
- inclusive and differentiated teaching and learning
- reflective and evaluative practices
- enrichment and engagement programs.

Looking ahead to 2027

In 2027, we will continue to interweave SWPBS and VTLM 2.0 through an explicit teaching planning template. We will also keep strengthening our multi-tiered system of Wellbeing, Behaviour and Academic supports.
