Principal’s Message
Warrandyte High School is a great school. It has strong links with its local community. A beautiful, natural setting just 20 km from the heart of Melbourne and a well-earned reputation for excellence across a broad range of curricula and extra-curricular offerings.
We have an international student program. Warrandyte High School is accredited under the Department of Education and Training’s CRICOS registration (CRICOS provider name and code: Department of Education and Training, 00861K). For further information refer to www.study.vic.gov.au.
Our school values are Excellence, Integrity and Respect. This means we continually focus on High Expectations; Authentic Relationships; Student Voice and consistent Teaching and Learning Protocols.
We believe that all learners can continually grow without limits. The key to this is self-belief, quality instruction, student agency, emotional and physical wellbeing, and appropriate challenge. As educators we want our students to value challenge and recognise the rewards that a strong work ethic brings.
Our Vision and Values
Our vision as a school is to:
Challenge every learner in a safe and supportive environment
Embedded in this vision are the following beliefs:
- As teachers, we need to meet the individual learning needs of all students
- We are all learners in our community: students, staff and parents
- People learn best when they feel safe –emotionally and physically
- Basic abilities, such as intelligence and talent, can be developed through dedication and hard work
