INCOMING Year 7 students to Greater Shepparton Secondary College will experience a small, supportive and inclusive school environment from the first day of term in 2022.

They will also benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and modern learning spaces not seen in Greater Shepparton for decades.

Acting Executive Principal Barbara O’Brien said the five new buildings taking shape at Hawdon St have been carefully designed to provide a nurturing environment for younger students and unprecedented pathways and opportunities for older students.

“Our Year 7 students will have their own homeroom, within their own House. Their ‘school within a school’ will have no more than 300 students – a small, inclusive and supportive environment,” she said.

Year 9 and 10 students step out of their House into a Neighbourhood of specialist and applied learning opportunities – technology, science, arts, media and more.

“Our senior students have their House, their Neighbourhood and an Enterprise and Innovation Centre, with trade technology, science, food, dance, performing arts and more specialist spaces,” Ms O’Brien said.

Parents and carers of Year 6 students will soon receive a Transition Pack from their primary school with enrolment information, or you can obtain one from your child’s school. For enrolment information at all year levels, email us at greater.shepparton.sc@education.vic.gov.au or call 5820 9900.
