Our goal is that when students leave the College, they are confident life-long learners who love continual learning. The development of the Learner Profile will give them the confidence to achieve this.
Development of the Learner Profile supports the important core disciplines or subject areas. Extensive work continues in literacy, numeracy and how these core skills, along with the Learner Profile, are embedded and taught in unison.
At the end of Term 1, Principal Andy Müller updated the community of some of the 22 strategic projects that are now underway as a part of our SOC2035 Strategic Vision.
Andy mentions just some of the projects underway:

The skills, or capabilities for learning, include the basics of literacy, numeracy and the use of information and communication technology. More than this, they also encompass broader social skills of communication, collaboration and ethical behaviour and the ability to perform in an intercultural environment.
For learners to develop these skills or capabilities, the organisation of learning must provide students with […]
Scotch Oakburn College has started its quest to look for better ways to represent students, along with 36 other Australian schools and in a Research-Practice Partnership with the University of Melbourne Graduate School of Education.

Mental Health First Aid training has become an important part of the College. At the end of 2020, we were very pleased to be able to advise that over 80 staff from across the College were trained to provide mental health first aid in various variants of the course – Youth, Community and Workplace. The substantial commitment that we made as a College contributed to being awarded Gold accreditation as a MHFA Skilled Workplace.
Training in 2020 then moved to our students and all Year 7 students and boarders from Year 7 – Year […]
