McClelland College is a 7-12 college with a current enrolment of approx. 1100 students. The College is well recognised as a leader in the implementation of personalised learning through what we call an ¿Education by Design¿ approach. We really believe in living our values of Community, Ownership and Growth.
Our decision making is all put through the lens of what is in the students¿ best interests. It's the innovative approach to teaching that sets our school apart and the passion and moral purpose of our staff that drives us to do everything we can to help each and every student. We pride ourselves on delivering education that builds professional and vocational capabilities by building on students' individual strengths.
At McClelland we support students in the exploration and development of their individual passions and talents. Key sets of relevant life-long learning skills taught throughout the McClelland Academy Program (MAP) will enable our students to be skilled in IT development, Science, Media, Business, Performing Arts and Sport.
The Elite Performance Program (and accelerate) is a select entry program aimed at extending junior year students. We design our curriculum, so these students are spending more time using higher order thinking skills and developing leadership capacity. This enables students to further increase their personal learning and continue to maintain learning above the expected level for their year group. If you are teaching a student in Year 7, for example, that you believe is capable of enrolling in a VCE unit, we want to know about it. This is Education by Design in action.
McClelland is also well-connected through collaboration and active partnerships with external organisations. To support the quality, reach and impact of our education, we constantly seek to improve teaching and learning outcomes through engagement with business and industry links.
The school has over 130 staff, comprising 7 principal team members, 80 teachers and 48 Education Support staff and we continue our commitment to ongoing improvement for the benefit of our students.
College Values
McClelland¿s College Values were derived from what students, teachers and parents thought underpinned success in life. We believe that Community and Ownership build together to support Growth.
