Students are of above average ability and have high aspirations and a strong commitment to their studies.
Enrolment at Suzanne Cory High School is through an entrance examination common to all four selective entry schools in Victoria. Details about this process can be found at .
Our mission at Suzanne Cory High School is to develop well-rounded students that excel in all areas not just academically. Our students become students of the world, and of wide and varied disciplines. This is developed through a diverse and challenging curriculum and the teaching of our core school values of respect, aspiration and contribution.
Respect: We develop students that have a respect for their learning, individuals, diversity and community (both locally and globally). Aspiration: Our students are encouraged to aspire to be lifelong and reflective learners, achieving to the best of (and beyond) their capabilities. Contribution: At SCHS we facilitate students to be engaged citizens who regularly and positively contribute to the local and global community around them.Our students are encouraged to highlight their individuality. As a school we aim to foster individuality and inclusiveness via our SWPBS framework and through the development of relationships between staff and students and within the student body to create a whole learning community.
Our students graduate with strong connections to the school, their school house and the wider community. This is encouraged and developed through the range of extra-curricular activities our students participate in, including the house program, sport and music programs.
Suzanne Cory High Schools educative purpose is to develop the desire and ability of students to think and learn in a multifaceted manner so that all students can become engaged citizens enabled to access future learning. We value learning that is
· Deep : Students are challenged to construct and apply new knowledge, skills and understanding to new situations. They are encouraged to form theories, find patterns and make connections in their learning. Students critical, creative and higher order thinking skills are developed.
· Challenging and accessible : We use the principles of differentiation to understand students entry points and devise learning programs that vary in content and product to support individual student needs. The learning needs of all students are valued and content and skills to be developed are appropriate to those learning needs.
· Student Centred : Students are participants in their own learning and spend the majority of their class time in active learning experiences. Links between students interests and the taught curriculum are encouraged.
· Positive : Strong peer-peer and student-teacher relationships exist. The classroom culture is productive and enjoyable with an emphasis on learning outcomes. There is an optimistic attitude and growth mindset evident in all members of the class.
The schools four-year learning program incorporates a broad based curriculum at year 9 and 10 that encourages students to maintain breadth and develop a range of thinking strategies.
