Principal’s Welcome

Empowering Students for Success

Thank you for considering Boronia K-12 College for your child’s education. Choosing a school where your child will flourish and feel happy is a pivotal decision for us as parents.

It is my vision to ensure our college is a place of belonging where all students feel safe, valued and respected. A place that is not only supportive and inclusive but one that engages and challenges every student to foster a love learning and achieve their personal best.

One size does not fit all, and neither should education. Every student is unique with individual strengths, passions, interests and learning needs. Our dedicated staff are committed to student-centred learning, ensuring every student is well known and empowered to personalise their learning journey through greater choice of subjects, voice in decision making and agency within learning.

We are Empowering Students for Success by creating the optimal conditions for learning. Equally, we understand the importance of student wellbeing and ensure students learn how to develop their social and emotional skills to form respectful relationships.

The school is divided into three distinct sub-schools, which helps facilitate a more personal approach to each student’s education and fosters the development of positive relationships between students, teachers and families. Students at the college move through:

• Junior School, which incorporates our Early Learning Centre for three and four year old kinder, as well as our primary years, Foundation to Year 6
• Middle School, Years 7 to 9, which builds the foundation skills for achieving their goals in the secondary years; and
• Senior School, Years 10 to 12, that guides students to success along their chosen pathway.

Each sub-school provides students with experienced and talented staff and specialist facilities appropriate to the academic rigour of the programs.

Within our sub-schools, students experience the personal care of a Learning Mentor Teacher (Years 7 to 12) or a Classroom Teacher (Junior School) as their first level of support. Within our sub-schools, teaching teams develop strong relationships with the students in their care, creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie within a secure and welcoming environment.

Additional supports are available to students through our Wellbeing Team, overseen by our Assistant Principal who is dedicated to Wellbeing and Inclusion. The team consists of a full time School Counsellor, Youth Worker and Chaplain, supported by the Adolescent and Primary School Health Nurses, the Doctors in Secondary Schools program and DET provided Student Support Services Officers.

Our programs aim to develop the whole child – they become inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who want to make a difference, locally and globally. In the Junior School, this is supported by an affiliation with the International Baccalaureate. In the secondary years, independent study skills are fostered though an increasing array of learning experiences within and beyond the college.

We are privileged to be able to offer these programs within one of the most impressive school environments in the outer-east.

I warmly invite you to come and tour our College.
