ElthamCollege

　　ELTHAM is a school unlike any other. We’re constantly adapting to the changing needs of young people and their world. We support them on a journey of self-discovery to unlock their talents through one of Victoria’s broadest curriculums. Most importantly, our teachers guide each young person to become empowered with the self-confidence and independence to manage all aspects of their future lives.

　　We aim for our graduates to step into life after school as pro-active young people equipped with the skills and desire to continue successful learning. And while we’re achieving these serious aims, we’re determined to have fun at the same time! Not only do we make learning exciting and relevant to life, we also create a very different and liberating environment where teachers and students share trust and friendship and work together in mutual respect.

　　We’re an independent, coeducational, Early Learning - Year 12 school. We’re also proud to be non-selective - we welcome students of all backgrounds, talents and abilities.

　　Nine core values form the foundation of our planning and drive our actions as an organisation:

　　Working together

　　We embrace shared leadership, non-hierarchical behaviour, and individual and team empowerment.

　　Individuality

　　We celebrate diversity and recognise each individual for their talents, abilities, passions and aspirations.

　　Innovation

　　We encourage creativity, innovation and risk taking to seek better ways of educating and learning.

　　Integrity

　　We display integrity through openness, trust, negotiation, fairness, honesty and respect for all people.

　　Self-ownership

　　We develop lifelong learners with capacity for self-direction and self-management.

　　Sustainability

　　We create a culture that values the principles of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share.

　　Excellence

　　We value the quest for personal bests and setting new standards.

　　Community

　　We value community behaviours that encourage people to work together and respect the integrity and individuality of other people and the rights of the community.

　　Curriculum

　　We pride ourselves on a vast curriculum. Specially designed programs have been developed to ensure that each young person at ELTHAM has the opportunity to explore and enhance their talents. Teachers work with students to tailor a learning program to suit their needs, abilities, passions and aspirations.

　　Our teachers dedicate themselves to a section of the school in order to plan exciting learning experiences for each developmental stage .
