Copperfield College’s mission is to ‘empower every student to aspire and achieve’; Living their values of collaboration, inclusiveness and growth, they invest in people who provide wrap-around support for each child.
As a large school they have an advantage in being able to offer a huge range of course options; With 37 VCE subjects available and 33 Vocational Education and Training (VET) options.
Copperfield College’s award winning VCAL program was even used as a model for other schools and the new VCE Vocational Major (VM).
Across three campuses and highlighting their motto of ‘one family, three homes’, students have the benefit of being within a smaller cohort, so they are not only seen, they are known.
As a diverse community, families come from many different countries and Community Liaison staff work closely with families, providing translations and information sessions, further implementing their values.
Their Year 7 Transition program has been endorsed strongly by students who during primary school years have the opportunity to attend college events, participate in peer tutoring and meet teachers early.
Copperfield College also has a 2-year scholarship program for students starting Year 7, with three areas, Academic Excellence, Performing Arts and Leadership/ Community Scholarships.
Students who demonstrate excellence in their field are encouraged to apply.
Priding themselves on positive retention rates, every student is part of the Copperfield family and nurtured to realise their full potential, leaving as a well rounded, caring citizen with a positive life pathway.
“Parents and students choose Copperfield College because of our success.
“We support students to create and realise their individual learning pathways through our expert and caring teaching and support staff. We invest in people to meet students’ needs.
