COLLEGE PROFILE
Terang College is a dual campus P-12 school, located in the rural town
of Terang (Pop. 2,100) in the Western District of Victoria. The enrolment
at the College is just over 400 students. The school is organised on two campuses with Years P-4 students situated at
the 'Primary Campus' and Years 5-12 students situated at the 'Secondary Campus'.
At the 5-12 campus we have two sub schools with Years 5-8 occupying the Middle Years Precinct and Years 9-12 occupying the rest of the school.
Some cross campus teaching and learning occurs.
-
Prep to Year 4 - provides relevant Early Years education, particularly
in the Literacy and Numeracy areas.
-
Years 5-8 - builds on the early years and provides a solid foundation for senior years.
-
Years 9-12 - provides students with a wide
variety of subjects in preparation for work or tertiary studies.
A comprehensive curriculum plan provides the school with the means of addressing
key teaching and learning issues and priorities. Developed and developing
policies and programs are articulated in the Whole School Plan and guide
the school in its work. The Domains of learning are supported by programs designed to enrich
core learning and to reflect local needs and priorities. The physical environment of the school is well developed and attractive.
The Middle Years Precinct is new and Years 5 and 6 students started full time at the senior site this year.
The College's motto TOGETHER WE GROW forms a basis for the challenge of
growing as a community to develop a high quality school intent on growing
scholastically, socially, intellectually and functionally. There is a clear
understanding in the school community that the only worthwhile success
is one that brings real benefits to the students through improved outcomes. The philosophy of the school identifies a community commitment to promote
the unique characteristics of each campus and to compliment and extend
their attributes through a cooperative and sharing approach to education.
