Location ProfileWerribee Secondary College is a highly regarded school in the Wyndham Education Precinct. A consequence of the College's outstanding results in VCE, IB (International Baccalaureate), VCAL and NAPLAN is that applications for enrolments far exceed the College's intake capacity. Werribee SC students have enjoyed recognition such as VCE All-rounder, IB High Achievers and VCAL competition winners. More recently, 97 % of the College's senior students have achieved tertiary pathways.
The College is a TAASS accredited provider of a Select Entry Learning program, which operates across the curriculum in years 7-12. The College attained accreditation as an International School with the Council of International Schools (CIS) in 2006 and in 2013 became the first state secondary college in Victoria to be accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organisation and authorised to offer the Diploma Program (DP) of the IB. Werribee Secondary College has instilled a culture which embraces hard work, academic achievement and learning growth.
The College has implemented a number of curriculum structures and programs which have further enhanced an exciting teaching and learning environment. The ENGAGE Teaching and Learning cycle embeds the High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) and is a research-based pedagogical framework that the College has implemented based on evidence gathered from the students and the school community. In 2020, the college will embark on the implementation of the PLC (Professional Learning Communities) using the inquiry cycle to achieve continuous learning growth.
A broad range of co-curricular activities includes, among others, music, drama, chess, debating, public speaking and Leadership Programs. Further leadership opportunities for male and female students are provided through the College's Australian Army Cadet Unit, which was formally inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Julia Gillard in early 2012.
A re-building program upgraded the level of many facilities in 2010 and these have been augmented by the completion of a new Recital and Performance Centre in early 2016 and the construction of a further $7 million-dollar stage completed in late 2018.
