Our College

Vision

Our vision is to be the leading provider of Senior School education in the Northern suburbs.

Mission

The Mindarie Senior College mission is to partner with our students; guiding them to grow as resilient, independent and responsible young adults.

We support the achievement of every student’s academic and personal goals by:
•    providing high-quality curriculum delivered by experienced senior school specialists
•    offering a broad range of flexible pathways
•    monitoring progress and well-being through our academic and pastoral care teams

We are committed to fostering a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusivity and to providing unique opportunities for our students to develop the knowledge, skills and values necessary to become productive global citizens.

Learning Environment

Our culture is mutual respect and trust. The relationship between staff and students reflects a more mature approach as would be expected in a college catering for young adults. Staff are committed to helping students develop their self-esteem and to supporting individuals to strive for their personal best.

The College operates on extended hours, up to 4.15pm on two days per week. This allows the College to timetable the normal classes over four days with Wednesday being timetable free. This allows a number of students, as part of their studies, to experience learning through structured-work-placement, Training Providers and other community organisations.

Students have the opportunity to learn in a modern and exciting facility that enhances the establishment of a young adult environment.
