Location Profile Dromana College is located on the Mornington Peninsula, approximately 85km south of Melbourne. The college has a student population of 1850. Students are bussed in from all parts of the Mornington Peninsula with more than 20 primary schools providing Year 7 students each year.

The college has a Student Family Occupation index (SFOE) of 0.46 and an SFO of 0.54, which reflects a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds within the student population. Almost all students come from families of an English speaking background.

Dromana College has worked extremely hard to establish itself as an educator of choice within the local area. Our College is committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all our students. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and orderly environment and on maintaining a culture where students willingly embrace our clearly defined values of respect, responsibility, integrity and personal best.

Literacy and Numeracy skills are whole school priorities and our commitment to developing these skills within all Learning Domains and subjects are shared by all staff members across the college. Dromana College is also committed to ensuring that all students are able to access ICT on a 1:1 basis, through our Notebook program.

The Year 7/8 program focuses on building students' core skills and providing them with broad access to all eight Learning Domains. Year 7/8 also has a strong Pastoral Care program that focuses on developing strong positive relationships between students and their peers, between teachers and students and between our teaching staff and the parent and wider school community.

In Year 9 the program is focused both on continuing to develop students' core skills and on providing students with choice over their learning. The Year 9 program includes single gender English and Maths classes that have proven to be very successful. The Year 9 program includes a combination of core and elective subjects that align strongly with Senior Schools Pathways and also builds links with the local community.

Within the Senior School students are able to access a broad range of Year 10 and VCE electives. Year 10 students are strongly encouraged to access VCE Unit 1 and 2 electives, whilst the Year 11 and 12 VCE and Vocational Major Programs cater to a broad range of pathways to ensure the individual needs of all students are met. VET Programs are available for students to access in Year 10, 11 and 12.

In recent years the College infrastructure has undergone significant development to cater to the increasing student population. The development of a state of the art Design Centre and Language Centre as well as the installation of multipurpose courts, playground equipment and the upgrading of the college environment has had a positive impact on our ability to meet student learning needs and on the culture of the college.

Dromana College also prides itself on our relationships with external stakeholders and the extra curricula opportunities we afford our students. Partnerships with local organisations such as Monash University and feeder Primary Schools and the opportunities for students to participate in enhancement programs are integral to our success as an educational provider.
