Teaching at Stawell Secondary College provides both personal and professional fulfilment. It is an opportunity to contribute to the development of an innovative curriculum reflective of 21st century technologies and culture.
Social and emotional learning is supported through a vertical home group structure for all students.

All staff actively work to promote engagement and utilise restorative practice to re-engage students when necessary. Student leadership is integral to the success of our school, and this is developed with student ambassadors, house leaders, school captains and bus-route leaders.
Sport, music, and various forms of competition are offered within the curriculum and can also be pursued as extra-curricular activities. Individuals and teams compete in a range of sports to state level, and the school band performs for entertainment and competition. Instrumental tuition is available and can lead to a number of music certificates.
Introduced in 2012, the College has successfully embedded a one-to-one personal computer program.
