Foster Secondary College (Foster SC) is situated in Foster and is part of the Corner Inlet Community of South Gippsland. Dairy Farming and agriculture are key industries in the area, along with retail, health, construction and tourism. There is a vibrant cafe culture and we are lucky to have skilled artisans throughout the community. Foster is approximately 175km from the centre of Melbourne.
Our College motto is 'Nihil Sine Labore' which means nothing without hard work. In 2024 Foster SC had approximately 270 students ranging from Year 7 - 12. Our Primary feeder Schools are Foster PS, Fish Creek PS, Toora PS and Welshpool PS. We employed around 40 staff, including teachers, teacher aides, education support, maintenance and office staff. The staff are very cohesive and united in the aim to develop a strong college community where every individual student is provided with a positive and encouraging environment in which to succeed.
Foster SC, through individualised career pathway counselling and skills education, aims to prepare students for a successful life after school. Our school celebrates student achievement but also student productivity. In 2024, Foster SC achieved the equal best VCE results for Government Schools in Gippsland. While we are a small school, we offer a broad range of VCE subjects to suit most students, and structure Year 10 as a Pre-VCE year in which we raise the level of expectation for students, preparing them for the processes and programs they will encounter in Year 11 & 12. We are the lead school of the South Gippsland Trade Skills Alliance, a very successful VET program that dramatically broadens the career opportunities for current and future students. Foster SC has collaborated extensively with our area's Primary Schools to develop a highly regarded Transition Program from Grade 6 into Year 7 to ensure students are nurtured and prepared for secondary school.
