Galvin Park Secondary College is one of the first schools in Victoria to launch a school wide 1:1 netbook program to support 21st Century learning with the aid of the Ultranet. All students in Years 9-12 have 24/7 access to "anywhere, anytime" learning as a result of the National Secondary Schools Computer Fund grant. The College has also implemented a similar Netbook program for Years 7 and 8. The school boasts a vibrant multicultural community with an active student council. It has a population of 1085 students 7-12. Respect, Tolerance and Cooperation are the shared values that underpin a supportive, aspirational learning culture. This school has 107 equivalent full-time staff: 3 Principal class, 82 effective full-time Teachers and 25 effective full-time Education Support staff. Across the College, team environments operate where teachers know and value all students. These teams identify student strengths and weaknesses and collaboratively plan their lessons and programs to move every student along a learning continuum. The Middle Years Program allows for tailored differentiation and appropriate interventions in literacy and numeracy. The College has a broad, responsive Senior Years Program including VCAL, VCE and VET programs. GPSC is a partner school in the Wyndham National Partnerships Extended School Hours Pilot. Lead Agency, The Smith Family, has established after hours programs for homework support, literacy, sport, performing arts and adult education. It also supports agencies actively co-locating on the College site to assist students and their families.
