Curriculum
The College has eight Key Leaning Areas which are accessible to all students. The school is also actively involved in the Bright Futures program and has curriculum program links with primary schools and further education providers.
Grades Prep to 6
The Redan Campus of Phoenix P-12 Community College caters for children from Prep to Grade 6. The college boasts innovative ICT rich classrooms where skill development is undertaken through the use of iPads, laptops and interactive whiteboards.
Years 7 to 10
Students entering Year 7 can learn Chinese or German, and the opportunity to experience a broad range of Arts, Technology, Music and Physical Education programs. However, emphasis is placed on students' successful outcomes in all the Key Learning Areas from years 7 to 10.
Years 10 to 12
Students can undertake VCE, VET and VCAL studies. Arrangements with Technical and Further Education (TAFE) providers enable "credit transfer" and "dual recognition" of studies and programs provided at the College. The College has links with local industry and these provide work placed learning opportunities relevant to students and career pathways. The College is a registered provider of training programs.
Developing Other Talents and Skills (DOTS)
DOTS is a learning program designed to provide education and support to "vulnerable young people who have disengaged from or been excluded by schools or education providers, yet still have an aspiration to learn".
Students collaborate with their teacher to negotiate and develop an Individualised Learning Plan (ILP) which aims to meet each student's needs, interests, abilities and aspirations. Students work on an independent academic program that adheres to the standards set by the Victorian Department of Education and Childhood Development.
