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.

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.

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.

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.
