Our Purpose:

School profile
TC is a leader in innovative and progressive education. Having transformed the school from a school of last resort to a thriving community, we now have approximately 1250 students and demand outstrips supply. We continue to improve and innovate by having a clear focus on both ¿core¿ work and ¿explore¿ work. In 2023, TC was named Australian Government Secondary School of the Year, and one of our staff members was named the Australian Government Secondary School Teacher of the Year. In the same year, the school was shortlisted as a finalist in the Victorian Education Excellence Awards in the Provision for High Ability Students category.
The learning environment is not one where education is done `"to" students. Rather, learners take increasing responsibility to drive their own educational decisions and directions as they grow in age and maturity. This is done in consultation with their parents and a supportive staff community that guide the learner keep them accountable.
To acknowledge the amazing work and growth of students TC has developed a new model of assessment where students are assessed and recognised according to Expanded Measures of Success, beyond traditional measures. Students can measure their progress across a range of transferrable skills.
The school is fully compliant with the F-10 Victorian Curriculum Guidelines and the school was reviewed as having met the VRQA requirements as part of the School Review Process.
