At Geelong High, teachers support students to strive for their best through innovative and engaging teaching programs that encourage students to develop respectful relationships and strive to achieve their full academic and personal potential.
The school delivers a strong focus on Positive Education, a program based on the elements of positive psychology, to build a strong culture of optimism, gratitude, and a growth mindset.
“This teaches all students in Years 7-12 the skills of wellbeing and enables students to identify and build on their character strengths to deal with life’s challenges”, Principal Mr Davin Reid said.
In 2024, Geelong High will be further extending opportunities for students to accelerate by introducing a Year 7 Accelerated Learning Program. Whilst the new program will cater specifically for students graduating from Grade 6 and starting secondary school in 2024, the school has a long track record of acceleration in one or two subjects starting from Year 9 that the program hopes to build on.
The new Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) will offer Year 7 students the opportunity to join a class that will face extra challenge and extension in the core subjects of maths, science, English and humanities, whilst still enjoying the full breadth of a rich curriculum.
