About the Business
Welcome to Whittlesea Secondary College, located at 55 Laurel Street in the vibrant town of Whittlesea, Australia. As an esteemed establishment and point of interest, we are proud to be a leading secondary school in the area.
At Whittlesea Secondary College, we prioritize the holistic development of every child. Our philosophy of education revolves around student-centered learning, empowering students and providing personalized learning pathways. We believe in nurturing curiosity, creativity, imagination, compassion, self-knowledge, social skills, and emotional well-being through our diverse range of programs.
Our ultimate goal is to empower students to take control of their learning and their lives. We collaborate with students to help them find their voice, discover and cultivate their passions, and foster their overall growth and development. By doing so, we aim to equip each student with the necessary tools to thrive and make positive contributions in our rapidly changing world.
In the junior years, our curriculum is deliberately broad, allowing each child to explore their areas of passion while also providing exposure to a wide range of knowledge and thinking. From Year 8 onwards, we offer a vertical subject selection, enabling students to make choices and customize their learning program based on their interests and individual needs. This approach is based on the students' stage of development rather than their age, ensuring engagement and challenge for all.
We understand that success in the future will depend on our students' ability to adapt to new and unknown situations. We acknowledge that learning can be challenging and setbacks may occur. Therefore, we instill in our students the understanding that it is a journey, and with a growth mindset and resilience, they can overcome any obstacles they may encounter.
We invite you to witness our educational philosophy in action by joining us for one of our school tours. It is the best way to get to know us, as you will have the opportunity to interact with our students and staff who will warmly welcome you and share their experiences.
Child safety is of utmost importance to us at Whittlesea Secondary College. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards child abuse, and all members of our community, including teachers, support staff, volunteers, council members, and parent associations, adhere to our Child Safety Code of Conduct. Our school actively works to protect children, empower them, and provide a safe and inclusive learning environment.
Lastly, we respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land throughout Victoria and pay our respects to the ongoing living cultures of First Peoples. At Whittlesea Secondary College, we embrace diversity and strive to create an environment that celebrates and respects the rich heritage of all individuals.
Join us at Whittlesea Secondary College, where we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child and empowering them to thrive in a dynamic world.

"I would honestly give this 0 stars if I could but I can't because frankly 1 star Is too high of a rating for this 'school' because in the short 3 and a half years that I actually attended this place I learnt that bullying is an acceptable thing to do and gets you no consequences whatsoever, unless you're the person being bullied and I was made to feel like I didn't matter and was made out to be a an attention seeker(which I was not an am not) and I was made to feel like all the bullying I had endured was my fault and when I tried to seek help for my mental health and for the bullying problem via the well being office I was 9/10 shooed away because I 'didn't have an appointment' even if I was litterally at the door with tears coming down my face and I was made to feel worthless and like no one cared about me or even wanted me here, even after expressing pretty concerning suicidal thoughts and behaviours to said well-being staff and even after a 2 month long psych ward stay when I had returned back to this place (for all of 20 minutes) all that was said to me by Steve (the head of the wellbeing staff) was "oh hey, how are you, are you better now?" There was no apology for not taking me seriously about any suicidal ideation or about the bullying or about the abuse I was experiencing back at home and yet everytime I see that local state government is granting them money to 'improve the school' all they're doing is just making it feel more like a prison like I still have friends there (only a few but still) who have told me and shown me that they're restricting certain toilets to certain year levels and that they have camers right outside the toilets and that they have to use their school Id to get into said toilets otherwise having to use the one in the main office which is very controlling imo, this school doesn't deserve any government grants it deserve to be shut down and for good"
"You can do what ever you want as long as you don't listen to the teacher"
"10 / 10 would come again This restaraunt had great customer service, the menu was very organised. However one of the toliets appeared to not get much attention."
"u can play with knifes at the school only 1 day suspenion as punishment if you think thats ok lol"
"My year 8 and now into year 9 niece has been bullied relentlessly at this school. The teachers and principle have all been notified on numerous occasions to NO avail!! They pull her out of class 'for her safety' and she misses valuable learning time. This is the same school that told my then year 12 nephew not to sit for his final exams as he wouldnt get a very high enter score!!! Bet they were worried about their own ratings!! Absolutely disgraceful!!"
