Wonthaggi Secondary College is a Year 7-12 dual campus school of around 1200 students. The Dudley Campus (Years 7 to 9) and the McBride Campus (Years 10 to 12) are situated three kilometres apart. The College operates a set program at Year 7, a vertical Middle School structure in lieu of Years 8 and 9 and a mixture of core and elective subjects at Year 10. A Program for Accelerated Learning (PAL) operates on the Dudley Campus. This is a selected entry program. The College is able to offer a broad range of post compulsory options due to the large student population in Years 11 & 12. The College is committed to the values of “doing our best”; “respect”; and “lifelong learning”. A range of programs are provided across the school to support these values. The College has a tradition of successful participation in the Performing Arts and Sport. An extensive camps and tours program and a wide range of other activities (e.g. surf lifesaving programs) are also in place. Extensive recreational, sporting and educational facilities are available. The College also enjoys access to extensive community facilities, local beaches and coastal reserves. We continue to focus on upgrading buildings and grounds. An athletics track is currently under construction.
