Welcome to Myrtleford P12 College
The College is located in the rural town of Myrtleford in North East Victoria, 290 kilometres from Melbourne. Myrtleford has a population of 3,000, but has the infrastructure of a much larger town. Our College belongs to the Ovens Murray Area and is in the Alpine/Towong Network.
During the past few years we have experienced significant growth with enrolments increasing from 230 in 2016 to 375 in 2022. We have 57 staff (41.9 EFT), there are 3.0 principal class officers, 28.8 teaching staff and 13.1 education support staff.
Our teachers strive to know their students as learners and to understand each student’s personal circumstance. The college endeavours to maintain small class sizes and employs a relatively high number of Educational Support staff to provide students with improved educational, social and personal opportunities. We endeavour to provide comprehensive intervention and welfare programs to support our students. We realise the importance of understanding and working with our local community in supporting all families and students at the college.
At Myrtleford P12 College we know that an orderly learning environment and high expectations are essential in ensuring that all students learn and reach their full potential. We are both passionate and determined to provide our students with the necessary skills, discipline and qualities needed to become successful 21st century learners and responsible members of the community. Myrtleford P-12 College has chosen the by-line inspirational and is underpinned by our College values – Be Safe : Be Responsible : Be Respectful : Be a Responsible Community Member. These values are at the forefront of all discussions with students and the broader community. They also form the framework for the celebration of student achievement and acknowledgement.
At Myrtleford P12 College we have high expectations of staff, students and parents. We offer a curriculum with a strong focus on numeracy and literacy, with many opportunities for extra-curricular extension. As students progress through the college we offer a diversity of pathways to meet the needs and interests of our students. In order to increase the range of subjects offered to our students we share VCE delivery with the local Catholic secondary school, Marian College. The partnership ensures student from both colleges have access to comprehensive VCE, VET, VCAL and school based apprenticeship programs.
Our College is a busy place where students participate and excel in activities outside the classroom. Examples of activities available to students are; intra and interschool sport competitions, the MART snow program for interested students every winter, instrumental music lessons, excursions/camps and leadership opportunities.
At Myrtleford P12 College we recognise that a productive and trusting school - home partnership is vital in ensuring our students are happy and successful learners. Student and parent surveys show that our students feel safe and connected to the College and their peers.
