Rainbow Secondary College values respect, empathy, teamwork, courage, excellence, persistence and pride. Our mission is to develop a seamless curriculum from prep to year 12 when we co locate with Rainbow Primary School. We believe that every child will achieve and improve as they move through our school. Workforce Composition- The school has 11.2 full time staff, 2 principal class and 2.6 Education Support Staff. We pride ourselves on our strong team approach to improving numeracy and literacy for every child. Both literacy and numeracy groups are flexible and formed as a result of regular On Demand, NAPLAN and VELS assessment. Over the last four years our numeracy results have improved for every child. These results have also been driven by programmes such as Mathletics and low teacher-pupil ratio. We offer a wide range of VCE, VCAL, VELS and VET subjects. Students participate in co-curricular programmes such as leadership and community programmes including the Alpine School and Dreamchasers. Others include: Intra and inter school sport, work experience, shearing school, annual productions, Traffic Safety Education, Woolshed and our cluster German Exchange programme. In 2011 the primary school facilities to support co-location will be completed. This project will include state of the art buildings.These will feature shared facilites for our years 7 and 8, prep -12 Arts and Design/ Technology spaces, and prep to year 6 spaces. Our cluster Trade Training Centre will begin development in 2011. In 2012 it will offer Certificate IV in Engineering and Construction.
