At Mansfield Secondary College we take a whole community approach to student learning.  The framework of our curriculum supports our students throughout their academic journey and prepares them for life beyond the school yard. Each student is encouraged to achieve their personal best and to develop a sense of pride in themselves, the College and their community. As well as enhanced in-class learning opportunities, students have the opportunity to pursue areas of individual interest and to develop a high level of competency by participating in a range of activities provided by the College and by external providers such as tertiary institutions and professional associations.

All classes provide differentiated activities and tasks, enabling students to work at their level and to aspire to complete extension work.

​

From Year 7 our curriculum provides an opportunity to explore a broad range of subjects. As students’ progress through the junior years, the curriculum branches out, and by year 9 the curriculum incorporates elective subjects thereby providing an opportunity for specialisation in areas of interest. There are also VET studies available as part of our timetabled face to face program. VET studies can contribute to VCE completion and are offered to all student throughout their schooling from Year 9.

​

In regards to our senior program we offer the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) as one integrated senior secondary certificate. VCE students can elect to complete the VCE Vocation Major (VM) program, an applied and vocational learning equivalent of VCE.  Alternatively, students can choose to complete the VCE two-year program, where student’s firstly complete unit 1 and 2, then move onto units 3 and 4 in the second year.  At Mansfield Secondary College we offer a range of subjects across humanities, science, mathematics, technology, arts and languages.

​

Mansfield Secondary College also has a very successful School Base Apprenticeship program, where students are given an opportunity to begin an industry trade whilst also completing their secondary schooling.  Completion of a School Based Apprenticeship can contribute to a student’s VCE results.
 

Our staff are a dedicated team who work collaboratively to improve the learning opportunities for all students. When welcoming students into year 7 we work with local primary schools to ensure a smooth transition into the college. Our senior team complete the journey and work closely with students and families in career and pathway guidance.
