Junior school team leaders and coordinators work closely with Year 7 - 10 students, teachers, and parents to develop positive relationships to support student learning.
Outcomes for Strathmore Secondary Students are positive with VCE results well above the state average in study scores and real retention rates at 75% compared to a state average of 50%.
The College has become a high performing school by implementing an instructional model based on research from McREL, Marzano Institute and Learning Horizons.
