Department of Education Victoria – Alexandra VIC

5d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

We are a secondary school of around 330 students and 60 staff. We pride ourselves on the `family¿ atmosphere of our college, where every student is known by name and has a strong sense of belonging.

Our students mix well between year levels; this friendliness is especially striking in our music program, school productions, ski program and at the start of each day in our Vertical Home Groups. We have a strong sporting culture, with individuals and teams regularly competing at State level.

Our college is large enough to offer an extensive curriculum, both academic and applied, that allows our senior students to confidently embark on the career pathway of their choice.

The College has a proud record of achievement; NAPLAN, VCE, Student Survey Results, Staff Survey and Parent Survey Results are, in almost every area, well above like schools and above state averages. This is due to our talented and hard-working staff, friendly and positive rural students, and supportive wider community.

The College is proud of its spacious and beautiful landscaped grounds. We have a stadium with an indoor basketball court, gymnasium and squash courts (that we share with our local community after hours), a college hall with excellent sound and lighting (that is used for college concerts and productions), two large ovals, tennis courts and ample recreational space for active and passive activity.

Our college classrooms are inviting, with excellent ICT functionality and well-resourced with specialised equipment.
