The Secondary school is divided into homerooms according to age with only a few exceptions.
CURRICULUM:
The Naranga Secondary School provides programs that will assist students' learning with a focus on their transition to Senior Secondary leading into adult life. The curriculum is meaningful and relevant, catering for the individual needs of each student.
The programs aim to give the students the skills that they will require when it is time for them to leave school. To allow students to develop to their full potential a wide range of programs are offered. Leisure and sporting activities are provided on a Friday afternoon. A new program being introduced this year is Advance, a Victorian Program for Youth Development.
The Secondary curriculum follows the guidelines of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards and -
- Provides programs in each of the domain areas.
- Caters for the individual needs of the students.
- Provides programs to prepare students for Work Experience and future placements.
- Makes what is taught, realistic and functional.
- Provides leisure activities and exposure to social skills.
- May integrate learning areas such as civics and citizenship, geography and history
- Provides a range of work programs that have a positive influence on future employment.
REPORTING AND ASSESSMENT:
An Individual Education Plan is established for each child. English and Mathematics continue to remain an integral part of our teaching and these subjects are incorporated into every subject area. Students undertake one of these subjects in their homerooms with their homeroom teacher.
The structure of the timetable allows the Secondary School at Naranga to provide programs that suit students' needs.
Students do have some input into electives such as Visual Arts, Technology Materials, Dance, Bike Education, Outdoor Education, Home Economics. Some are offered on a semester basis.
The Friday timetable changes every term to cater for interschool sport, basketball and seasonal recreational activities.
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
COUNCIL:
Every year a student is elected from each Homeroom to represent their class on the Student Representative Council. These students meet once a week to discuss issues that affect them and to organise student fund raising and awareness events.
SCHOOL CANTEEN/TRADE KITCHEN:
Secondary students run the canteen on a Monday and Wednesday. A variety of foods are sold at reasonable prices. Order forms are available from homeroom teachers. If a child is ordering their lunch they place their order in their homeroom lunch basket.
