WERRIBEE SECONDARY COLLEGE

Werribee Secondary College is a single-campus, co-educational, Year 7 to 12 College, with an enrolment of approximately 1400 students.  Since 2003, Werribee Secondary College has experienced heavy demand for enrolments at Year 7 and at other levels.  To manage this, a ceiling has been placed on the total school enrolment for 2010.

The College is the longest established secondary college in the Werribee area, with a proud tradition of academic excellence.  The College continues to offer students a high quality education, designed to assist them to develop skills and competencies, and to acquire the knowledge needed to meet future challenges.

The College established an International Students Program in 2000 and attracts overseas international full-fee paying students.  Werribee Secondary College has long-standing relationships with schools in Singapore and Japan.

Werribee Secondary College is fortunate to have a culturally diverse student body.  Around 10% of students enrolled at the College speak a language other than English at home and around 20% of students have at least one non-Australian parent.

Vision

The vision for Werribee Secondary College is to be "A School of Distinction".  To this end, the College is determined to be a special place of learning by implementing the best quality practice in both tradition and innovation in education as evident in Australia and internationally.

The College will provide opportunities for all students to access a broad range of knowledge, skills and competencies, accompanied with the promotion of values and attitudes that will enable students to become more resilient and ready for the dynamic world of post secondary education options, both within Australia and overseas.  These attributes will be fostered within a climate of community building, promoting a sense of global citizenship.

The College will explore the opportunities afforded through International School Accreditation, as well as becoming a provider of the International Baccalaureate.

Values

Werribee Secondary College is committed to a set of values and attributes consistent with the College motto: "Live Worthily".

These values and attributes consist of:

- respect,
- responsibility,
- honesty and integrity,
- cooperation, and
- perseverance.
