Curriculum and Learning

At Mickleham Secondary College, our unwavering commitment is to provide our learners with a knowledge-rich curriculum that empowers them to excel academically and prepares them for the challenges of the future. We believe that every student has the potential to learn, grow, and achieve great things.

Our curriculum creates a strong foundation of essential knowledge that students can build upon as they progress through the years. We are passionate about equipping students with the necessary tools, skills, and knowledge to tackle increasingly complex tasks whilst supporting their personal development, voice, and agency. Our aim is to nurture their critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and creativity, enabling them to become confident, well-rounded individuals.

Central to our approach is the belief that a knowledge-rich curriculum provides students with a solid framework upon which they can develop their intellectual curiosity and explore new ideas. We carefully select and structure the content, ensuring it is relevant, engaging, and aligned with the Victorian curriculum. This enables our students to delve deeply into subject matter, make connections across disciplines, and develop a genuine understanding of the world around them.

We foster a collaborative and supportive learning environment, where students are encouraged to actively participate in their education. We empower students to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering a sense of independence and self-motivation.

Mickleham Secondary College is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. We invite you to join us on this educational journey, where knowledge, growth, and success go hand in hand.

In Years 7 and 8, students undertake a complete course of studies which covers all domain areas, as prescribed by the Victorian Curriculum. This allows students to experience all subject offerings at the College before making a choice in Year 9.
