Curriculum


 * What we offer**

The range and the quality of our outstanding curriculum and co-curricular programs distinguish Swan Hill College. All students are encouraged to build on their talents, expand their horizons and develop a culture of life long learning through participation in a variety of academic, sporting and musical programs. These may include leadership programs, public speaking and debating, College and District Bands, peer support and mediation programs, Inter-House and Inter-College sporting programs, overseas student exchange programs, camps, SES cadets, a Student Forum and Australasian Science, English or Mathematics competitions.

The Performing Arts, especially Music, Drama and Dance, are promoted within the community and feature across all year levels. Our strong music tradition is an integral part of our transition program and staff work in our local primary schools providing tuition, band and ensemble opportunities.

Student personal development is enhanced through a close interpersonal relationship between staff, students and parents. All students are part of a home group, under the care of two home group teachers, and are members of one of our four Houses. Home group teachers, along with their House Leader, work to support individual student development and learning.

Our staff are encouraged to further develop their skills and share these with their colleagues. A formal Appraisal & Recognition program stimulates continuous improvement and focuses on improving student achievement.

Swan Hill College strives for excellence. Our international focus is growing through links to Indonesia, China and Japan, with student and staff exchanges, language tours and a supportive community, which encourages cultural diversity
