MULLAUNA SECONDARY COLLEGE
CURIOSITY - COURAGE - COMMUNITY
Success through learning together
Mullauna Secondary College is a co-educational, Year 7-12 state secondary college located in Mitcham. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students, staff and members of our community. Our school recognises the importance of the partnership between our school and parents & carers to support student learning and wellbeing. We share a commitment to, and a responsibility for, creating an engaging, inclusive and safe school environment for our students. Mullauna Secondary College is committed to child safety; all members of the Mullauna Secondary College community observe the Child Safe Standards and expectations for appropriate behaviour towards, and in the company of, children.
Our vision for our students is that they will model our college values of 'Curiosity, Courage & Community', and thus grow to be courageous and engaged young people who value and respect curiosity and learning. We value the pursuit of excellence and strive to provide authentic and contextual opportunities for all students to experience success and contribute positively to their community.
The college's mission is to create reflective and independent learners for life through a learning community that provides a challenging and secure environment responsive to individual learning needs. We believe that effective learning occurs when outstanding and innovative teachers provide a variety of tasks that actively engage students who are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. The expectation is that students will be successful and enthusiastic learners capable of building positive relationships.
Mullauna Secondary College has a strong tradition of academic excellence, active student leadership and participation, as well as outstanding music, sporting and debating programs. The college programs offer a breadth of pathways, and Year 10 students can access VCE subjects, including VET. Mullauna Secondary College also delivers an International Student Program.
Sitting at the centre of its work, the college believes in high expectations in all students and a commitment to hard work. Our aim is to prepare young people to become active, engaged and responsible citizens of the local and global community. A major focus is to prepare students to contend with a very dynamic world in which creativity, cooperative work, connectedness and adaptability are key features. The school aspires to provide a contemporary approach to learning and teaching in its purposeful educational environment.
The college operates in two sub-schools, Junior and Senior. In the Junior School, Mullauna Secondary College has an engaging curriculum that includes core, elective and inter-disciplinary programs: Challenge at Year 7, an expansive combined Year 8 & 9 electives program, and SkillZ@Mullauna at Year 9. Excel is a selective program for high-performing students that operates from Years 7 to 10. The Senior School structure promotes the acceleration (advanced placement) of Year 10 students into VCE and VET Studies. Senior School students undertake an academic VCE with access offered in VET subjects through the Mullum cluster, as well as the provision of the new VCE Vocational Major (VM). Thus, all students have access to a successful future pathway. The college offers a long-established International Students Program with homestay placements, specialist English as an Additional Language (EAL) teachers and tutors both in class time and after school.
Mullauna Secondary College is undergoing significant and exciting developments with the recent investments in new facilities! The new two-storey, eight-classroom learning centre is an excellent addition. We excitedly await the development of the state government's 2022 election commitment of a further $17.6 million to the next stage of our masterplan!
The upgrades over recent years have already provided fantastic spaces like the Junior Learning Centre, renovated science classrooms, and dedicated areas for arts, design, and STEM learning. The changes to the library and staff areas seem to foster a great environment for both students and teachers to collaborate and innovate. These developments have helped to set up the college for a bright future.
