FROM THE PRINCIPAL | Ms Amanda Mullins

I wish to extend a huge welcome to our new Year 7 students and families.  Werribee Secondary College has a proud history where all of our students are supported to be their best and ‘Live Worthily’.

At Werribee Secondary College we concentrate on developing the student as a whole.  Adolescence is a time of change and challenge.  We fully support the growth of our students socially, emotionally, physically and academically. We have support structures in place to ensure our students learn about themselves, are able to make good choices and perform their best in all their classes.

Throughout their time at the college, students are given choice about their future pathways and have many opportunities to join extra curricular activities to pursue their interests or develop leadership skills. Please take the time to read through all of the information on this page and browse our wider website to learn more about our school and the things available for you. I look forward to meeting you soon.

Year 7 Curriculum

All students undertake a learning program based on the Victorian Curriculum and participate in a daily homegroup session. This program has been well established at year 7 to assist with the transition from primary school. Students study all eight key learning areas: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Health & Physical Education, Technology, Arts and Languages (LOTE). Morning homegroup sessions encompass many aspects of student wellbeing, establish connection with a peer group and dedicated teacher, and encourage participation in short topical activities.

Students who obtain places in year 7 SELP have all classes together, undertaking accelerated Mathematics, Science and Humanities, extension in English, Music, Arts and Technology, and personal goals in Health and Physical Education, as well as their chosen language. Further details are provided on the SELP page.

You may think that year 7 is going to be a big change and that it will be something that will be hard to get used to, but it’s not. You get used to the changing classes within the first 2-3 weeks. There is nothing to be scared of. You will have some of your friends that you have now, and you will make new friends.
