Irymple Secondary College is a 7 to 10 middle secondary college with a reputation for curriculum excellence, enrichment and performance. We are committed to educating students for success. We believe in establishing sound foundations whilst supporting students to grow into valued members of our society.
Our students have an increased use of off-campus learning and the use of learning resources in the wider community through access to VET and Pathways programs; and a further increase in the use of new information technologies to provide continuous access to new and powerful ways of learning and sources of knowledge. Students who fall behind their peers are provided with special assistance, extra time and support to enable them to achieve desired standards. The college has allocated a significant level of its funding to develop and maintain extensive Learning Technology resources.
Transition is a key Year 7 focus that aims to ensure a smooth transition from a primary to the secondary setting. Year 7 & 8 students access a rich learning environment with a broad spectrum of programs to accelerate and enrich student learning in a variety of ways. A Literacy Program supports those students requiring extra assistance. Year 8 students have the opportunity to elect subjects from a comprehensive list of choices.
At Years 9 & 10, learning pathways are strengthened through a comprehensive Core and Elective curriculum structure which allows students to develop a personally relevant academic or vocationally orientated program. The College promotes excellence through programs which offer students opportunities for enrichment and personal growth. These include core Maths, Science and English; in these core studies students elect, with advice from teachers, a level to meet their personal learning standards. Students may also select performance and artistic programs; academic challenges; sports; camps and excursions; student leadership; community service; pastoral care; work experience and structured work place learning.
Upon completion of Year 10, most ISC students move on to the Mildura Senior College, supported by a comprehensive transition program. VCE results achieved by our students have been excellent. The collaborative arrangement between our college and the senior college has significantly strengthened the ability of both colleges to focus on their respective areas of education; thus ensuring the delivery of comprehensive academic, cultural and vocational programs.
