Numurkah Secondary College is excited to invite you to be part of our growing College community.
We are a co-educational College, situated approximately 30kms north of Shepparton. Numurkah is a town of approximately 4700 people. In years past, it has predominantly been a farming district, however the make-up of our community is changing. A number of our families fall into a low socio-economic category. Buses transport students to our school from the surrounding districts of Waaia, Tallygaroopna, Katunga, Strathmerton, Katamatite, Invergordon, Wunghnu and more.
The College currently has a student population of approximately 260 students and our enrolments are increasing with an expected increase within the next few years.
The staff of Numurkah Secondary College are not only invested in delivering the best Teaching and Learning but are committed to ensuring that the Engagement of our students is high. In addition, the College has a well-established Wellbeing program, and this has been enhanced by the introduction of the Resilience Project in 2022. Our strategic intent is to support students to learn effectively and to develop positive attitudes and behaviours. We endeavour to provide a learning environment that will nurture personal development and establish a strong connection to the College.
The challenges of becoming a lifelong learner, pursuing further study, successfully entering the workplace and being a responsible member of society face all students. The school staff assist students to meet these challenges and be not only responsible individuals who are able to relate to family, friends and colleagues, but informed citizens, who understand and can contribute to the community in which they live and the wider world around them.
