Outstanding Education

The Wodonga Middle Years College is a unique secondary experience for your child. We provide opportunities for our students to achieve their personal best through our innovative programs and engaging curriculum. In 2006 the Middle Years College was formed and is the only Middle Years College in Victoria.

The College consists of two campuses, the Huon campus and the Felltimber campus. Students are encouraged to attend the campus located closest to their home.

We care about each of our students. The partnership between students, teachers, families and the wider community are vital to the development of each individual, and is a primary focus of all members of our College community.

• Student wellbeing is very important and a range of support programs and professionals are available to support students and families
• We ensure specialised counsellors are available where appropriate
• Teams of Year Level Co-ordinators and selected A-Team (Advocate Team) teachers are available to assist students in their daily management
• Consistent consequences are applied to manage student discipline
• The “Restorative Practice” approach is used to support positive relationships
• Students’ attendance is closely monitored

A Confident Start.

Year 7 students experience the personal care of an A-Team (Advocate Team) teacher as their first level of support. Continuity of learning experiences and a smooth introduction to College life are markedly assisted by small teams of subject teachers and dedicated Year 7 Team Leaders.

We support your child with:

• Special transition program for our Year 7 students
• Links to Year 6 teachers
• Parent Information Evening in Term 1
• Year 7 locker bays and courtyard area
• Year 7 camp and Parent BBQ early in Term 1
• Friendship days in Term 2
• Year Level and lunchtime activities in each term
• A-Team teachers, Team Leaders and Wellbeing teams take a special interest and care of students
• Recognition of student achievement with awards, certificates and praise at assemblies
• Further celebration of school service, sporting and academic excellence through visual displays and annual award ceremonies
• Students and families are supported by a firm, fair and consistent approach to uniform and discipline.

In Years 8 & 9 the support and care continue and are marked by broadening choice and increased self reliance as students grow towards maturity and independence. In Year 9, students are also encouraged to make a commitment to service and leadership. An active student leadership program includes College Captains, College Council, class leaders, events leaders and sports leaders. The sense of self worth developed in these critical years equips young people with the confidence needed for the more self directed and adult learning environment of the senior years.

Wodonga Middle Years College provides:

• A curriculum specifically designed to cater for the needs of Middle Years’ students to enhance student engagement
• An emphasis on authentic learning that equips students for the real world
• A unique recognition and achievement program (RAP) that acknowledges personal achievement within the College community
• A realistic approach that focuses on developing strong values and sound personal qualities
• A diverse range of leadership opportunities for students at all year levels.
