Welcome to Ridge View Secondary College!
As parents, one of the most important decisions we will make with and for our children is their education. We place a huge amount of trust in the public education system, and we rightly expect that the educators with whom our children will spend some 15000 hours of their lives are capable, contemporary and connected professionals, who place the success of students at the forefront of all decision making.
As a cutting edge, world class, high performing public college that is focused on student wellbeing as an integral element of learning and achievement, we are proud to hold a privileged position of trust within our community.
Our commitment to providing a learning environment that fosters a sense of belonging and connectedness is well established and is a clear reflection of the positive college culture.
Ridge View Secondary College, which has now been established for six years, has strong foundations which will endure.
We hold high expectations for all students, that encompass learning, attendance and engagement. We know that maintaining our high standards will be a strong contributor to the continued success of our students.
Our parent community has high aspirations and expectations of us and that is reflected strongly in the emphasis on quality, evidence-based, high impact teaching, compulsory uniform, high standards of student behaviour and our no device policy.
Our commitment to the learning partnership between our students and parents and our college community, the Ridge View family, continues to deepen. The best opportunity for the success of your child comes from the strong partnership between parents, the college and the student. Adolescence is an exciting time in life, but it is rarely a smooth one and there will be challenges at times for most students.
It is so important that we work together to assist our students to build resilience, lean into their strengths, and develop a strong sense of self. These are some of the key attributes that will serve them well as they move into a life beyond the college and begin to make their own contributions as active, positive, well-rounded citizens to our wider community.
As we move into the last year of our College Business Plan cycle, it is an exciting time. It is a time of celebration and reflection on the past achievements of the first five years of the college’s life, and the incredible opportunities for growth that lie ahead.
I thank you for your trust in us to support your child to flourish. We are so excited about being part of their journey with you.
