Location ProfileAt Mount Eliza Secondary College (MESC), a collaborative and personalised approach supports students and staff as active learners. We work to empower students to be their best by questioning their experiences, expressing themselves with confidence, and participating in local, national, and global communities. We are committed to safety and wellbeing for all young people, which is the primary focus of our care and decision making. Our college values, Educated for excellence - Prepared for life, underpin all we do. The College is an accredited International Baccalaureate school and runs the Middle Years Program in Year levels 7-9. There is a wide array of VCE subjects to choose from, electives in Year 10, VCE, some Distance Education options, VCAL, and the new VCE Vocational Major. Located in the Shire of Mornington, Mount Eliza Secondary is a medium-sized secondary college that provides for students from over 15 feeder primary schools, including a large number from the local Central Peninsula Network (CPN). The current school enrolment is 751 students, enabling a guaranteed and viable curriculum, notwithstanding a rich array of extra-curricular programs and activities, including in the areas of Music, Performing Arts, and Sport.
The College has long been known for its caring and dedicated approach to its students, the calibre of young people who attend, and the support of its parent community. These factors remain as strengths of the College, as does our desire for continuous improvement and a commitment to remain one of the highest performing government colleges in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas.
The major focus for our work in recent years, and into the next Strategic Plan, is around:
Maximise the achievement and learning growth of all students:Design and embed a curriculum and pedagogical approaches that explicitly develop Literacy and Numeracy skills, and that promote deep inquiry and authentic application of learning across all areas.Build all teachers' capability in using data to monitor students' learning growth, to address their points of learning, and to offer differentiated learning challenges.Maximise the wellbeing and engagement of all students:Enhance students' agency through opportunities for real-world learning, improved feedback practices, and increased choice in their learning.Embed a whole-school approach, with tiered and responsive practices, that supports all students' wellbeing and engagement in school.We continue to address an approach as a whole college to focus on accountability and consistency, and a genuine belief in meeting the needs of our students. Managing increasing enrolments continues to be a priority that we are happy to have. To manage and promote a calm and restorative learning environment, growth in student numbers has led us to employ additional staff to support the wellbeing and behaviour of our young people. This has included the recruitment of an Assistant Principal, increased Coordinator time, and increased Mental Health Practitioner time. We have also become partners with Adam Voigt's REAL SCHOOLS.
