Shepparton Education Plan
GREATER SHEPPARTON COLLEGE (INTERIM NAME) – YEAR 7 CURRICULUM
Greater Shepparton College’s (interim name) vision is to give students the knowledge and skills to thrive throughout their lives.
As a school, we recognise that each student has different strengths, interests and ways of learning and to support these different styles we have developed a broad-based curriculum that will cater to all students. Our focus must be aspirational, for all of our young people.
The Year 7 program will focus on building confidence and skills in English and Maths, alongside a full curriculum including the Sciences, Technology and Humanities. Students will be given the opportunity for extension and accelerated learning, or alternatively be provided with additional support where needed. There will also be opportunities to develop foreign language skills and develop their learning with Arts and Physical Education classes.
As the Executive Principal for the new Greater Shepparton College (interim name), I will work with you to shape what our school will look like in 2020. I look forward to using lessons learnt from my previous experience and working with you to deliver excellent educational outcomes for our young people.
For current Year 6 students and their families, I encourage you to meet me, the school leaders and teachers at our Year 7 Open Days being held at McGuire College which will be our Year 7 campus next year. See below for dates and times.
We have grouped primary schools on particular days where possible, however for the evening Information Sessions parents/carers and students may choose which Information night suits them to attend. Some are scheduled during the day and some in the evenings to enable working parents to attend.
