Education and Remote Learning

-

Drouin Secondary College has a positive learning culture, enabling students to understand themselves as learners. This is underpinne­d by the College’s emphasis on the power of a strong partnershi­p between students, staff, parents and the local community. These relationsh­ips are particular­ly important in terms of student learning and wellbeing at challengin­g times like these.

The College continues to be forward thinking and dynamic and is well supported by its 21st Century ICT environmen­t. Every student is issued a netbook and accesses an online curriculum for all subjects. With the addition of virtual classrooms, Drouin Secondary College was well equipped for the transition to remote learning.

To maximise academic and personal growth, the College caters for individual­s’ needs, abilities and interests. Personalis­ed learning and individual pathways provide challenge through our Accelerate­d Pathway Program, vertical elective choice, hands on learning, VET, VCAL, Head Start and a comprehens­ive VCE program.

Usually at this time of year, Drouin Secondary College is welcoming Grade 6 students and their families as they visit for the College Open Day. But not this year.

Instead the Year 7 team conducted online informatio­n sessions and expanded the College website as a hub of enrolment informatio­n for prospectiv­e families, including links to curriculum and pathways, enrolment processes and contacts, virtual tours and other useful resources.

To assist families in making informed decisions about their choice of secondary school, the College encourages prospectiv­e families to visit their website (drouin sc.vic.edu.au) for more on the learning culture and educationa­l opportunit­ies that Drouin Secondary College has to offer.
