Department of Education Victoria – Glenroy VIC 8d ago, from Department of Education & Training Victoria Glenroy College is located on the corner of Glenroy and Cardinal Roads, 20 minutes from the CBD. It has easy access to public transport centred between Glenroy and Fawkner Train Stations. The diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the 460 students enrolled at the College are drawn from the surrounding areas, including Glenroy, Oak Park, Hadfield, Pascoe Vale, Coburg and Broadmeadows. In 2020, the College recorded a significant increase in enrolments, a testament to the strategic changes implemented over the past three years. The College completed a rebuild of the main teaching and administration areas during 2020. Glenroy College is committed to successful outcomes for all students. We equip them with essential learning skills, adopt High Impact Teaching Strategies, implement Literacy and Assessment for Learning, provide College‑wide Positive Behaviour Support and Professional Learning Communities, and use a collegiate classroom visit structure. The College actively supports learners with Junior (Years 7‑9) and Senior (Years 10‑12) Sub Schools, led by Year Level Leaders and a Sub School Manager. Each Sub School is further supported by teams of staff who provide individualised attention to the academic progress and wellbeing of each student. Our programs encourage the highest standards of achievement in every activity. We collect literacy and numeracy data on students in years 7 to 10, provide feedback to students and teaching teams, and use this data to inform parents through our system of parent interviews and an online parent portal. In 2020 we implemented a five‑weekly progress reporting system and conducted inaugural virtual Parent Teacher Interviews. Our teaching and learning methods recognise that students must be able to use computers and multimedia technologies confidently. This aspect was further highlighted during 2020 when teaching was significantly conducted through remote platforms. Additional special programs support and extend student learning, including Junior and Senior Back on Track, Instrumental Music, inter‑school sport, Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy Support, High Achievers Program, Drama and music performances, an extended Year 6‑to‑7 transition program, and Momentum‑Journey and $20 Boss programs for Year 9 students. The College provides a balanced and diverse program, blending innovation and tradition. The Positive Behaviour Support framework structures student management and wellbeing, emphasising the College Values: Achievement, Respect, Integrity and Teamwork. The engagement and wellbeing team includes a Wellbeing Team Leader, Inclusion Coordinator, Inclusion Aides, Family Liaison Officer, Chaplain, Adolescent Health Nurse, and visiting professionals such as psychologists, speech therapists and social workers. Students receive extensive career counselling and support throughout the year levels, with accelerated Year 10 students invited to access VCE subjects and opportunities for VET and VCAL programmes. We develop student leaders through various roles such as Class Captains, College Year 12 Captains and Sports Captains, and provide comprehensive wellbeing structures with mentors and level leaders.
