At our College, we are committed to a quality, first-class education that encourages its young people to develop the skills required to thrive in an ever-changing, global community.
For our young people to achieve at a high level, they need to be supported by their community - students, staff, and parents. At Officer Secondary College, we foster strong, positive partnerships that put the student at the centre and believe learning is maximized when it takes place in an environment enriched with high expectations, personalised learning, challenge, inclusion, and support.
We value academic pursuits and take pride in helping our students to develop solid core values, and an appreciation of the world around them. We encourage students to be inquisitive and think critically, be creative, view issues and problems from a range of perspectives and to see learning as an ongoing adventure. We promote and cultivate independent thought and the building of character. This enables students to contribute to their communities in a meaningful and positive way. Our students are supported to expound our college values- Excellence, Inclusion, Respect, Creativity, Critical thinking, and Global Citizenship and uphold our College's motto, "Learning Together, Learning to Lead, Together we Inspire".
Our teaching environment is designed to maximise student learning by creating a calm and orderly learning environment. We thrive in designing spaces that value student attention and allow our students to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our teachers work collaboratively across the College to ensure that the curriculum is delivered in a consistent teacher/student centered format which allows students to learn in a supportive environment to consolidate and then build on their understandings to become confident learners.
Additional support is available to students to revise concepts or to further extend their knowledge, this ensures every opportunity is given to all students to achieve their potential.
Having a highly committed staff and supportive community provides us with the optimum conditions for success.
Learning CommunitiesTo facilitate Student support and allow each student to be known and feel connected, Officer Secondary College has implemented four Learning Communities. Each Vertical Sub School is made up of students from Year 7 - 10. These Learning Communities, are supported by Sub School Learning Culture Leaders, Learning Community Leaders and Learning Community Teachers, foster an encouraging and friendly atmosphere in which students can learn effectively, and focus on preventing problems before they occur.
Each Learning Community Leadership team also includes a Learning Specialist who supports the teachers in the Learning Community to improve their practice and a Wellbeing Team member, who ensures each student's emotional needs are met. All teachers are assigned to a Learning Community and teach the students in this Learning Community. This support includes closely monitoring the academic and personal growth of each student in their Learning Community. Students remain in the same Learning Community from Year 7 to 10 at Officer Secondary College, which allows Sub School Learning Culture Leaders and Learning Community Leaders to develop a close relationship with each student and understand each student individual needs. Learning Community Leaders liaise with student's families as the need arises.
In Year 11 students transition from the 7 -10 Vertical Sub School to the Senior Sub School. This allows a dedicated team, again lead by a Sub School Leader and a Year 11 Learning Community Leader and a Year 12 Learning Community Leader.
At Officer Secondary College our focus is on developing student's confidence and leadership qualities. We cultivate a nurturing atmosphere, empowering students to embrace challenges, whether within academic pursuits, in sports, student leadership, the Performing Arts and Instrumental Music. Our supportive environment means that students can develop the leadership qualities needed to succeed in school and beyond.
At Officer Secondary College there are many opportunities for active participation. Student Leadership positions result from a rigorous process involving written applications, interviews, and student voting, fostering holistic school engagement. There are a variety of responsibilities and activities that the student leadership team are involved with during the year, with a particular emphasis upon building their capacity as leaders. These opportunities allow students to enhance their leadership skills, to experience success and meet challenges which build self-confidence and resilience and to build on the six school values: Creativity, Inclusion, Respect, Excellence, Critical Thinking and Global Citizenship.
Officer Secondary College has Gold recognition of SWPBS. We are extremely proud of our staff, students, and community as we continue to create a positive school climate, a culture of student competence and an open, responsive management system for all members of the College.
