Mark Oliphant College (Birth-Year 12) represents a new era of innovation in schooling for the northern suburbs, offering a single campus for families seeking one learning and care environment for their children. Our new ‘state of the art’ complex at Munno Para West provides separate but integrated learning hubs where students learn in small, personal communities, while still benefiting from outstanding resources. The four sub-schools are: Early Years – Care (including long day care); Kindergarten; Reception to Year 2; Primary Years (Years 3-6); Middle Years (Years 7-9); Senior Years (Years 10-12). Each sub-school has its own Head and leadership team including counselling support. Each sub-school has less than 300 children/students. We offer children a sense of belonging in a safe, secure and interconnected environment, where they can develop, learn and grow into young adults. We are committed to effectively integrating all school operations and to ensuring the curriculum’s cohesion and continuity. We are developing a number of specialist focus areas including science and learning technologies. This will be supported by a 1:1 laptop program, with 500 laptops distributed in 2011. We are committed to integrating digital technologies into all aspects of the curriculum. We have flexible learning options to support students, two Area Resource classes to support students with disabilities, as well as a range of other support options for students with disabilities and Aboriginal students. Our behaviour management policy uses the underpinning principles of ‘Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful and Be Successful’ to guide our expectations of student behaviour. We value parents’ involvement in the school and believe that it leads to a richer, more cohesive and exciting learning environment for both students and staff. Parents may choose to be involved on many levels, formally or informally.
