Location Profile Hume Central Secondary College, located in the City of Hume, serves the Broadmeadows area with a total student enrolment of approximately 1200 students and growing. Our vision is to develop and nurture the social, emotional and academic growth of all students in order that they become resilient, life-long learners equipped with the skills, qualifications and personal attributes for success in and beyond school.
The College has three state-of-the-art campuses: two Year 7-9 Campuses located at Blair Street and Dimboola Road and a Year 10-12 Campus on the south west corner of Broadmeadows Town Park. The Blair Street Campus also includes the Hume Central English Language Centre, a Year 7-10 facility providing for the language learning needs of newly arrived students to Australia.
Hume Central Secondary College is a vibrant school community with an outstanding school climate and a positive culture where staff are valued and numerous structures support strong collaboration. School climate data from the annual staff opinion survey shows that positive endorsement is consistently above similar schools, network and state, with significant strengths in the areas of staff trust in colleagues, collective responsibility, and collective focus on student learning.
Our strategic intent incorporates a focus on maintaining student engagement in learning so that students are able to complete their secondary education and make the transition to a meaningful and sustainable post-school destination. Excellent results in VCE ensure that over 97% of our students secure a tertiary placement in either University or TAFE.
An important focus of our College is to support our students to learn effectively and to develop positive attitudes and behaviours. This can only be achieved when our students, parents and teachers work together in partnership. We endeavour to provide a learning environment that will nurture personal development and establish a strong connectedness to school.
