Wedderburn is a small rural community in the North Central district approximately one-hour drive from Bendigo. The town has a population of 800 people of whom approximately 200 live on town boundary farms. Students draw from the small communities of Korong Vale, Borung and Inglewood. Our F-12 school has a current enrolment of 183 students.
Central to the strategic direction of Wedderburn College is the improvement of learning outcomes for all students and improvement in student engagement in learning. Our College has a whole school focus on improving the literacy and numeracy of students and on developing a curriculum that is relevant for students in the 21st century. We are committed to the implementation of the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework and to continuous improvement across our whole college.
The College¿s vision: `Developing positive learners for a world community¿, reflects our desire for all students to access opportunities that will allow them to realise positive and productive futures for themselves. The values that underpin the Colleges beliefs are Respect, Responsibility and Resilience.
The College occupies a significant and valuable place within the wider Wedderburn community and this relationship is a source of pride for both. The College recently finalised building works, which included upgrading the library to a modern Resource Centre with a separate Junior Literacy area, a new administration, and staff work area, a dedicated Numeracy room, Digital Technology Lab, as well as other infrastructure work in College grounds.
