Vision
Merrilands
P-12 College will be a school where the central focus is student
learning. The educational
program will enable all students to achieve competency in literacy,
numeracy and other essential learning's.
Teachers will act as facilitators of learning and will work
together in learning teams to develop and deliver programs that foster
engagement and cater for the needs identified in individual student
learning profiles. These
programs will be student centred and involve both independent and
collaborative learning.
Teachers will use a wide range of strategies to cater for the varying
learning styles of all students.
Special programs and additional resources will be available for
students with special needs or requiring extension.
The college will provide a safe and stimulating learning
environment. Students will
respect the rights of others and negotiate their own learning goals.
Assessment will be a positive and integral part of the learning
cycle. The learning program will be enriched by the provision of a wide
range of personal and cultural enrichment programs including sport, the
arts, student leadership and community involvement.
