Point Cook Senior Secondary College

Schools Australia introduces Point Cook Senior Secondary College in Point Cook, for all your education and learning needs.

Point Cook Senior Secondary College is an eight year old school for students in Years 10-12, located in the fast growing and multicultural Point Cook area of Wyndham in Melbourne's west. We opened our doors for the first time to an intake of 100 Year 10 students on 29th January, 2008. At the time of writing the College has 825 students in Years 10, 11 & 12 and the three stages of our building program have all been completed.

At Point Cook Senior, we emphasise positive relationships, success in a multitude of pathways, and the development of the whole person.  As a dedicated senior school, we offer a broad range of VCE subjects, acceleration opportunities, select entry academic programs, and hands-on programs like VET and VCAL.

Our college offers pathways into many different areas of life -- higher education, a wide number of professions, sporting endeavours, performing arts and a variety of highly skilled trades, to name a few.  Students learn inside and beyond the classroom, helping to ensure they leave as young adults, well prepared for life after secondary college.

The learning spaces of the school include the Learning Resource Centre, Design Technology facilities for Textiles and Wood, a Gymnasium, Food Technology, Music and Drama spaces, and a Science & Technology centre. We have also recently taken possession of a new Trade Training Centre which hosts VET studies in Automotive and Building and Construction.

In a short period of time our College has also become a leader in a variety of areas, including becoming a Centre of Excellence for pre service teacher training, a VCE, VCAL and VET teacher network facilitator, a key member of the Victorian Senior Schools Forum, the Hobson's Bay Network and the Point Cook Precinct.

A key value of our College is the strong emphasis we place on relationships and on developing the whole person. This is evident in our Advisory program which operates for 30 minutes each day and is based around a program which embraces Pathways counselling, literacy, study skills, mental health and adolescent wellbeing activities.

Point Cook Senior is defined by:

Strong relationships between staff and students.

Strong community links.

Individual learning and pathways plans.

Technology based research and presentation.

Next practice teaching strategies.

A young adult environment and culture.
