Weeroona College Bendigo (WCB) is a community of Kind, Safe, Learners, located on the northern side of Bendigo with a population of 780 year seven to year ten students and a small cohort of Year 11 and 12 students completing Vocational Pathways Certificate (VPC). Our second campus (BFLO- Bendigo Flexible learning Options) is an alternative setting and is a collaborative partnership between the five Bendigo Secondary Colleges and Kalianna Specialist School that aims to reengage learners from year seven through twelve. The current enrolment at BFLO is 55 students.
We have very strong educational partnerships with our associate primary schools in the White Hills cluster, the other three Bendigo year seven to ten colleges and Bendigo Senior Secondary College where our students transition for years eleven and twelve.
Our modern learning spaces provide for a wide range of flexible teaching and learning activities including independent study, peer tutoring, small and large group work, project-based learning, lecture-based learning, seminar style learning, research, performances, and presentations by students and learning by building, doing and creating.
WCB has a firm commitment to maximising the educational opportunities for each one of our students and we place a high emphasis on all students achieving personal excellence. Each student has a Ready to Learn plan where teachers and parents can track progress with their students to ensure that individual learning needs are met. Literacy and Numeracy are a high priority at Weeroona College Bendigo where we work to ensure that our teaching supports all students across the curriculum. We are a community of readers and encourage reading opportunities at school and at home and we have a differentiated learning model for teaching Mathematics that supports individual learners. All teachers at WCB explicitly teach literacy skills in each of their classes, with a focus on vocabulary and we are supported to do this by our brilliantly resourced Global Learning Centre (library).
Our college has made the development of a high-quality curriculum that caters for the needs of all students a major priority over the past few years. A balanced core curriculum is offered for year seven and eight students and year nine and ten students undertake a mixture of core and elective studies. Our year 10 students have access to VCE courses and our year 9/10¿s to VET programs.
WCB has a strong culture of extracurricular programs. We have a proud tradition in the Performing and Visual Arts including a well-supported instrumental music program, bands and arts spectaculars and College productions. The College also has very high standard sporting programs, where our students compete as the Weeroona Warriors. We are proud of our students who perform exceptionally well in a broad range of interschool sports activities. Another highlight of our college program is our participation in the Energy Breakthrough competitions. The College has an outstanding record of success over many years and the students, staff and families involved have benefitted enormously from this program.
We have developed a culture of high expectations for all our students and have embedded a Positive Behaviour framework based on our school values: Kind, Safe, Learners. To support this, we have also developed a learning support plan that clearly articulates a consistent set of expectations by all staff using a restorative and trauma informed approach.
