Crusoe College is a 7-10 Secondary College in the Bendigo region. Formerly known as Kangaroo Flat Secondary College, it was merged with the Golden Square Secondary College and undertook a name change and major upgrade of facilities in 2008. The goals of the College include the target that students will make at least one year of learning growth for each year they are at school. This can only be achieved if teachers, students, and families are working together to create an environment where learning is the priority. To enable this culture to be reinforced, teachers have a strong focus from the start of the year on encouraging students in attending school every day in the correct uniform, being in class on time, bringing the required equipment and resources, paying attention to the instructions of teachers and making the effort to complete the required learning tasks. We ask parents to support us by reinforcing to students that school expectations exist to help promote achievements and should be adhered to in all circumstances.
