Department of Education - Victoria

Location Profile  

Clyde Secondary College opened January 2022.  2025 will see the inclusion of Year 10, adding a year level each year thereafter.

The College is committed to creating a learning environment that is built on high expectations for all, where every student is exposed to a rich, diverse, and challenging curriculum, while ensuring they are valued, and that each student enjoys the caring and supportive environment in which they learn every day. Our school values reflect our vision of ¿Excelling together, valuing the individual¿, which can be summarised by REACH; Respect, Excellence, Aspiration, Curiosity and Honesty. All school values should be intrinsic to the College community itself ¿ our staff, students, and their families.

The College Leadership team highly values and actively promotes staff wellbeing, offering a supportive culture for all staff.

We¿re dedicated to supplementing students¿ learning with a wide range of co-curricular programs. These include extensive student leadership development, performing arts and sporting opportunities. Every student is encouraged to get involved with the wider community, and we¿re here to help them build on the necessary skills to do so, ensuring all students leave the College as highly productive and successful global citizens.

We are committed to meeting the learning needs of every student, promoting excellence in learning growth for all. Students will be exposed to a diverse and challenging curriculum following the standard Victorian Curriculum, offering English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Languages, Physical Education, Technology, Art, Drama, ICT, with a whole range of extra-curricular activities.   As the College grows, we will offer a range of other subjects, including Music, Food Studies, as well as offering extension opportunities such as Advanced Maths, Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Systems.  STEM will also feature strongly in our program from Year 7, providing the building blocks for our student¿s success in future years.

We offer a select entry High Achiever Program that challenges and supports high achievers to excel and provide them with a unique accelerated opportunity in VCE, as they approach their senior education years of study.
