學(xué)校介紹

Copperfield College is a school unco nditionally committed to providing the very best pathway for every student. Central to this, is our deeply held belief that ‘a(chǎn)ll students can learn’ given the right conditions. My job is to find the right co nditions for every student, co nsistently foster the capability of every teacher to teach as well as they can and ensure that the college co ntinues making educatio nal improvements. This is evident in everything we do and you will see that philosophy throughout this handbook.

Our structure is distinctive, as we have developed from a single seco ndary school. We now have two junior campuses, Kings Park and Sydenham for Years 7 to 10 students and a VCE/VCAL campus at Delahey for Years 11 and 12 students. I am entirely co nvinced that these enviro nments are best for the learning development of adolescents and young adults.

The Junior Campuses are ba sed on small teams for Years 7 and 8 and Years 9 and 10. This enables the teachers to recognise the learning needs of each student very well and safeguards the students’ positive relatio nship with the college.

The team structure co ntinues at the Delahey Senior Campus, however in a young adult learning enviro nment our students thrive and become co nfident and articulate, ready to take their places in the world.

Our mantra, ‘Three homes, one family,’ is used as a me taphor to describe the way we think a bout our school. It is proudly one school with three campuses. There is a family vision, family plans for improvement and everyone who interacts with us is part of the family – students, parent and staff.

Our improvement journey is exciting and yielding rewards in the form of:

Co nsistently outstanding VCE results.

Ed Awards 2011 ‘Outstanding Leadership Team – Numeracy Improvement’.

A Natio nal Curriculum Innovation Award for our work on improving VCE and the Culture of the Delahey Campus.
