Moving into Secondary Education is an exciting time for young people. Our school recognizes the importance of this transition in life and is very keen
to work with you to make the change smoothly and with high levels of support.
Spotswood College is a vibrant co-educational school with almost 1000 students. We offer exciting opportunities for all students in academic,
cultural and sporting areas. All students are encouraged to achieve. Quality teaching and learning are the core of our business.
It is what we do best. Learning is tailored to each student and a high standard of achievement and personal conduct is expected. We want our
students to be independent, critical and creative thinkers, well able to cope with the challenge beyond the school gates.
Our Philosophy is captured in our Vision Statement: “Helping build great people”.
I believe that an outstanding feature of our school is the positive and caring attitude of our students and staff. Their humour and friendly attitudes
towards each other create an excellent environment for teaching and learning.
Core Values- As a school community we strive to encourage all students and staff to focus on our key word.
PRIDE – Our themes are;
P = Personal Best
R = Respect
I = Integrity
D = Determination
E = Enjoyment
The diversity of our school is the strength of our school. Co-educational and multi cultural with a well established and highly regarded International
Students programme, affords our students the opportunity to learn from and understand others. It is these experiences and the learned skills which
will equip our young people for the global context which is the 21st Century.
We look forward to meeting you and working with you as together we move your child forward in their learning and development.
Choice of school is important. We are proud of our school, its students, teachers and their achievements. I am sure you will be very pleased with
your decision to attend Spotswood College.
I welcome any enquiries from prospective students and their families.
Yours sincerely
