Lilydale District and Yarra Valley Education Plan
We are proudly a part of Lilydale District and Yarra Valley Education Plan. The plan includes modernising school buildings and sharing new educational facilities between six schools located in the outer eastern area of Melbourne.
More Learning Opportunities
Together the schools will work to ensure every student has access to high quality secondary education, improved wellbeing and engagement services, and future focused pathway and learning opportunities.
As a part of the Student Engagement in Learning for the Future program ( SELF), all Year 10 students have access to a week-long Work Experience Placement as a part of their of secondary school study. This provides students with the valuable opportunity to:
develop employability skills
explore possible career options
understand employer expectations, and
increase their self-understanding, maturity, independence and self-confidence.
In addition to this they undertake a course aimed at improving financial literacy in preparation for managing themselves and their finances in the future.
Social Justice
At Year 9 the Student Engagement in Learning for the Future Program (SELF), focusses on social justice issues by building connections with the local, national and international communities. This focus raises awareness of students as individuals and as contributors to our school and wider community.
City Experience
As a part of the community awareness and independence focus in Year 9 SELF, students are provided with an opportunity to participate in a city experience camp. This camp builds awareness, confidence and independence in young people while they explore Melbourne’s cultural, educational and recreational attractions.
