‘Rigour in Learning’ We believe hard work is central to student achievement. This is combined with a quality learning experience that takes into account individual needs. Positive attitudes, respectful relationships and Individual Learning Plans are the basis of our education. We are a small rural school in Western Victoria with most students coming from farming families. The Primary School was established in the 1860s and secondary education commenced in 1957. In 1998 the schools merged to form our P-12 College. The majority of students are bus travellers. Our school is a vehicle to bring the community together. We value the partnership between home and school. Students have the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of extra curricula activities. We aim to:-develop all students’ academic, emotional and social potentials to enable them to develop as life long learners; prepare students for a future community and global environment which is consistently changing; and provide a supportive, safe and stimulating learning environment in order to develop and nurture confident and respectful human beings. In 2011 this College has 13.8 equivalent full time staff; 1 Principal, 17 teachers and 5 education Support Staff.
