Location Profile Thomastown Secondary College has a unique and proud history.
Designed in 1971 on a mini-school model with a strong focus on engagement and student voice, we have retained our core values while responding to the changing needs of our community and that of the broader society.
Central to our core values is the pursuit of Individual Excellence for each member of the College, embedded in our rich learning environment which values and supports diversity, excellence, and teamwork.
Founded on the understanding that effective schools are centred on the individual student as a learner and as a person, the vertically structured curriculum and distinct teaching teams in each of the Year 7-10 mini-schools allows enrichment at all year levels and in all learning areas.
Underpinning this belief is the unique Home Group structure, which provides each student with the same teacher-mentor from Year 7 to Year 10.
The College provides senior education for all students in a comprehensive and inclusive structure, supporting an adult approach to learning.
Students complete their VCE, selecting from a variety of models on offer, including combinations with VET, Work Placements, and three-year programs.
This flexibility allows students to complete their VCE to their best standard while also meeting the financial and personal needs of their families.
Thomastown Secondary College provides a safe and friendly learning environment.
There is a strong emphasis on celebrating the diversity of our community through formal celebrations and day-to-day interactions.
