At Weeroona College Bendigo
our teaching team work together with the aim of
empowering all students to learn and achieve.
Weeroona College Bendigo (WCB) is a community of Kind, Safe, Learners, located on the northern side of Bendigo with a population of 780 year seven to year ten students and a small cohort of Year 11 and 12 students completing Vocational Pathways Certificate (VPC).
We have very strong educational partnerships with our associate primary schools in the White Hills cluster, the other three Bendigo year seven to ten colleges and Bendigo Senior Secondary College where our students transition for years eleven and twelve.
WCB has a firm commitment to maximising the educational opportunities for each one of our students and we place high emphasis on all students achieving personal excellence. Each student has a Ready to Learn plan where teachers and parents can track progress with their students to ensure that individual learning needs are met.
Literacy and Numeracy are a high priority at Weeroona College Bendigo where we work to ensure that our teaching supports all students across the curriculum. We are a community of readers and encourage reading opportunities at school and at home and we have a differentiated learning model for teaching Mathematics that supports individual learners.
Our college has made the development of a high-quality curriculum that caters for the needs of all students a major priority over the past few years. A balanced core curriculum is offered for year seven and eight students and year nine and ten students undertake a mixture of core and elective studies. Our year 10 students have access to VCE courses and our year 9/10’s to VET programs.
We have developed a culture of high expectations for all our students and have embedded a Positive Behaviour framework based on our school values: Kind, Safe, Learners. To support this, we have also developed a learning support plan that clearly articulates a consistent set of expectations by all staff using a restorative and trauma informed approach.
