Seymour College is a vibrant school located one hour from Melbourne that is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment across the three sectors of education, primary, secondary and special education. With access to modern facilities, we offer teachers the space and opportunity to create exciting teaching and learning experiences for their students. All of our teachers, from early career graduates through to Leading Teachers, are provided with support and opportunities, with all having access to leadership opportunities, induction, mentoring and coaching.
The College encourages collaboration with the students, as well as their parents and carers throughout their learning. As part of our commitment to life-long learning, we are implementing the new Vocational Major and Vocational Pathway Certificate from 2023, have a Trade Training centre located on-site, and offer comprehensive careers and pathways planning for all students. Our commitment to student success is reflected in our NAPLAN data, which shows significant student learning growth from Years 3 to Year 9. This carries on into VCE, with our VCE outcomes sitting above all regional neighbouring Government schools.
The College prides itself on being a hub for the Seymour community in our education and wellbeing services from birth through to graduation. This includes a co-located Family and Children’s Centre with kindergarten and maternal and child health services on site. The college is also involved in a ten-year partnership with the Colman Education Foundation, Kids First Australia, Mitchell Shire Council, Department of Family, Fairness and Housing to implement the ‘Our Place’ approach.
