Windsor Gardens Vocational College, which incorporates the Windsor Gardens Centre for Hearing Impaired, is one of the most dynamic learning centres in the state. We are a medium size secondary school with a very strong sense of community. Students work in small Care Groups which meet daily and then once a week for a longer session. This means the teacher gets to know each student well, monitoring progress across all of their subjects, their involvement in college life generally as well as their general well-being.
Windsor Gardens offers a very diverse curriculum and has successfully developed students who know what they want in their future and how to go about achieving it. We approach education with the aim of motivating and inspiring young people to pursue actively their chosen education, training and employment pathways. Firstly, we support students to explore what they want in their future, then try it out and then do all the preparation that will lead them into their post-secondary school lives with success and purpose. Accordingly, we offer a range of vocational courses alongside academic courses all designed to ensure students develop practical, work-based understandings alongside the acquisition of new skills and knowledge.
Our students' post-school destinations are our best advertisement - students from Windsor Gardens Vocational College are in apprenticeships, are at University, are in employment, are at TAFE or undertaking further training. Our students are succeeding and in many different ways.
The college has adopted a set of values that underpins all our work. These are RESPECT, TRUST and TEAMWORK. The students, families and staff selected these from a very long list of suggestions. We have further examined what they mean in practice and use them as part of our daily life.
Students of the college receive well-deserved praise for the work they do and the way they behave - whether it is the Music students as they perform for local community groups, students visiting work places as part of their studies, students on excursions, students preparing and serving food in our café, students supporting each other to achieve. Our college is a friendly place where students and staff know each other well, where the communication with parents/caregivers is strong and where we join together to achieve the best outcomes for our students.
