Location Profile
Our college values of Aspiration, Respect and Empathy clearly define Castlemaine Secondary College's (CSC) positive learning culture. All students are encouraged to be their best, whilst developing awareness of the community around them, engaging with others in a way that builds positive relationships. Our vision outlines our long-term narrative.
At Castlemaine Secondary College we have high learning expectations of staff and students. We promote and support emotional and physical wellbeing, developing resilient community members.
The five key initiatives that support our vision are our School-Wide Instructional Model (SWIM), the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM), School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support Framework (SWPBS), Literacy and Numeracy.
Our SWIM provides clarity for staff and students about the classroom high expectations that exist at CSC. Teachers are encouraged to be life-long learners to enhance their teacher practice. Our SWIM allows all learners to access their learning, regardless of their ability level and / or learning needs.
The BSEM requires staff to demonstrate unconditional positive regard for all students at all times, continually building positive relationships. BSEM strategies have been incorporated into our SWIM, enhancing classroom environments to be calm and rigorous.
The SWPBS framework journey began in 2023, working alongside the BSEM to promote a culture of high expectations. Using the SWPBS framework we have developed clear expectations for students in all areas of our college, which contribute to a supportive learning environment. These expectations are explicitly taught to all students each year.
Enhancing literacy and numeracy skills for all students will remain a constant focus at CSC. Regardless of a student's pathway, maintaining continuous improvement of these skills will support students to realise their career dreams. Developing and maintaining improvement in literacy and numeracy is a shared responsibility between the college, the student, and their family.
Continually improving our physical surroundings also remains a constant focus, aiming to create a learning environment that supports aspiration and pride in being a CSC student.
