Department of Education - Victoria

Thank you for considering working at Boronia K-12 College, located in the outer eastern suburbs. Choosing a school where you will feel supported by the leadership team and your colleagues; but also provided with opportunities to grow your craft through quality professional development and resources, is a pivotal decision for your career.

At Boronia K-12 College, our vision is to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected. A school that is not only supportive and inclusive but one that engages and challenges every student and staff member to foster a love learning and be at their personal best.

Our college is a unique medium-sized school that offers students the opportunity for a continuous educational journey from 3-year-old kinder to Year 12. We combine the benefits of both large and small schools, offering excellent facilities, a broad range of subjects, and co-curricular activities such as camps, student leadership, sports, and excursions. At the same time, we provide strong pastoral care, individualised academic support, and a close-knit community where staff know students and their families well.

In the last 6 months, there have been many positive changes. This includes a new vision and direction supported by a strong narrative for improvement, operationalised by the Strategic Plan (2025 ¿ 2028). Priority areas for the college are to embed our Instructional Model, Professional Learning Communities (PLC) approach, Response to Intervention Model, School-wide Positive Behaviour Support, Respectful Relationships and the Berry Street Education Model believe that one size does not fit all in education. 

Our school is divided into three sub-schools (approx. 510 students) to foster strong relationships between students, teachers, and families:

• Junior School: Includes our Early Learning Centre for three and four-year-old kinder and primary years from Foundation to Year 6. As an International Baccalaureate accredited school, we offer a world-class curriculum.
• Middle School: Covers Years 7 to 9, allowing students to personalize their learning with a wide choice of electives.
• Senior School: Encompasses Years 10 to 12, preparing students thoroughly for their chosen pathways with a range of VCE and VET subjects.

Within each sub-school, students receive personalised care from a Learning Mentor Teacher (Years 7 to 12) or a Classroom Teacher (Foundation to 6). They are also supported by our Wellbeing and Careers Teams, including a full-time Director of Wellbeing, School Counsellor, Youth Worker, Chaplain, Adolescent Health Nurse, Primary Wellbeing Leader, Doctors in Secondary Schools program, and Careers Practitioners.

We are proud of the sense of community that we have developed at our college and believe that what sets us apart is the way in which we personalise our approach to each student's education, supporting and extending them to reach their full potential.

Our College wide Instructional Model and Learning Culture, defines the approach we take to teaching and learning. This in seamless transitions for all students. Our curriculum is designed to allow all students to demonstrate their abilities and progress their learning.

Our programs aim to develop the whole child - they become inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who want to make a difference, locally and globally. In the Junior School, this is supported by an affiliation with the International Baccalaureate. In the secondary years, independent study skills are fostered though an increasing array of learning experiences within and beyond the college.

We are privileged to be able to offer these programs within one of the most impressive school environments in the outer-east. If you are interested to find out more, go to our website, book a tour or give us a call.
