Senior school

At Leongatha Secondary College, we’re striving for ‘Excellence in Education’ and as one of the largest schools in the South Gippsland area, we continue to pride ourselves on being a College that displays genuine cares for our students and their learning needs.

We aim to build strong and positive relationships between ourselves, our students and our families and see this as being very pivotal to every young person’s success in education. We want our students to feel safe and develop a strong sense of belonging in their time at LSC and our staff are always encouraged to be approachable to support in bringing this about.

Our aim is that our learning environment we’re creating allows every student to reach their potential and get the best from themselves. Our Senior School building is specifically designed for 16-18 year old students and encourages collaborative and creative learning. We’re also very proud of our increasing representation of student voice in our decision-making processes. In 2018, we have a very active number of Senior School students involved with our Student Representative Council (SRC) and we are only looking to further build upon this in 2019 and beyond, Our Senior School also use other facilities on the campus, including the two full-sized gyms, the specialised Art and Design building and the Design and Technology building.

Our teaching staff in the Senior School are highly qualified educators and excel in curriculum development and educational innovation. We have a strong focus on providing clarity and offering meaningful feedback for our students that supports them with their growth in learning. Our teachers in the Senior School are also supported by Educational Support Staff  so that we can fully cater for the interests and needs of all of our students.

In addition to our emphasis placed upon student academic learning growth, we recognise that young people need opportunity to grow in other areas, as well and it is why our College also offers a range of VCE, VET and ALternative pathway options.

We believe that we offer a first class education for students of all ability levels and with our students in the Senior School having access to the very latest in Information and Communication Technologies to enhance their learning, we’re confident they are developing skills that will hold them in good stead for becoming an active and responsible citizen for the 21st-century workplace in their years beyond their time at LSC.
