Principal's Welcome

Viewbank College is an outstanding government school which provides excellent opportunities and outcomes for students.  We hope that being part of the Viewbank College community is a positive experience for your family and particularly, for your child.   

The College is committed to continual improvement, focusing on rich and relevant learning.  The curriculum is designed to promote individual student growth and ensure that all students are challenged and supported to achieve their potential. Years 7 to 9 students have the opportunity to explore and experience a vast range of subjects to inform their choices.  For Year 9 students who have a proven academic record of high-level achievement, their teachers will make recommendations for an offer of an accelerated VCE unit for the following year when they are in Year 10.    

Added to the academic framework, the extensive co-curriculum and lunchtime programs encourage students to develop stronger connections to the College, peers and teachers.  Students through these experiences have the opportunity to explore their interests and talents. 

The College has a Middle School Leadership Program that links in with the Senior Student Leadership Team and provides for our senior leaders to mentor future leaders in the College.  This adds to leadership opportunities already available through the SRC and Middle School Council and gives students a leadership experience on which to further build towards the Year 12 Leadership program.  

The College values student voice and openly encourages students to be involved in their own learning growth as well as the greater life of the College. 

The College is a caring community, one that offers many opportunities for students to achieve personal growth and work hard to achieve academic success.
