College Overview
Surf Coast Secondary College prides itself on providing its students with the knowledge, life skills and technical prowess required to succeed in a rapidly changing 21st century.
Long gone are the days when blackboards and theory constituted the majority of the school day, hence a key focus of Principal Scott Diamond and his team being the promotion and facilitation of independent and active learning.
The teaching staff at SCSC believes in the premise that the more actively a student participates, the more they will enjoy their studies, which more than often translates into higher grades and greater depth of learning.
As part of the College’s focus on providing its cohort with the most contemporary learning devices, all students are equipped with an iPad, giving them instant access to school tasks and associated learning material, at the same time as honing their technical skills.
“We are a school that values the development of skills and attributes within our students that will prepare them extremely well to be independent, creative and critical thinkers,” Mr Diamond said.
“The main goal we have as a staff group is for SCSC to be the school of choice for all students in our neighbourhood area and I’m supremely confident that the current programs we have in place already meet this high ambition.”
