Location ProfileBoronia K-12 College, located in the outer eastern suburbs, is committed to developing students into responsible members of the local, national and global community. To achieve this, we offer quality teaching and learning programs delivered by skilled and innovative professionals. Our contemporary buildings and grounds are second to none, providing a stimulating learning environment where students are able to maximize their potential.
At Boronia K-12 College we are proudly learning together. The school is divided into three distinct sub-schools (of approximately 700 students), which helps facilitate a more personal approach to each student's education and fosters the development of positive relationships between students, teachers and families. Students at the college move through:
Junior School, which incorporates our Early Learning Centre for three and four year old kinder, as well as our primary years, Foundation to Year 6.
Middle School, Years 7 to 9, which builds the foundation skills for achieving their goals in the secondary years; and
Senior School, Years 10 to 12, that guides students to success along their chosen pathway. Each sub-school provides students with experienced and talented staff and specialist facilities appropriate to the academic rigour of the programs.
Within our sub-schools, students experience the personal care of a Learning Mentor Teacher (Years 7 to 12) or a Classroom Teacher (Junior School) as their first level of support. Within our sub-schools, teaching teams develop strong relationships with the students in their care, creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie within a secure and welcoming environment.
Additional supports are available to students through our Wellbeing Team, overseen by our Assistant Principal who is dedicated to Wellbeing and Inclusion. The team consists of a full time School Counsellor, Youth Worker and Chaplain, supported by the Adolescent and Primary School Health Nurses, the Doctors in Secondary Schools program and DET provided Student Support Services Officers.
We are proud of the sense of community that we have developed at our college and believe that what sets us apart is the way in which we personalise our approach to each student's education, supporting and extending them to reach their full potential.
Our College wide Instructional Model and Learning Culture defines the approach we take to teaching and learning. This in seamless transitions for all students. Our curriculum is designed to allow all students to demonstrate their abilities and progress their learning.
Our programs aim to develop the whole child - they become inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who want to make a difference, locally and globally. In the Junior School, this is supported by an affiliation with the International Baccalaureate. In the secondary years, independent study skills are fostered through an increasing array of learning experiences within and beyond the college.
We are privileged to be able to offer these programs within one of the most impressive school environments in the outer-east. Please, go to our website to find out more about Boronia K-12 College.
