Heathmont College - Prospectus 2019

3 Welcome Welcome to Heathmont College – the dynamic learning community committed to helping students learn, grow and make a positive difference in the world now and in the future. We achieve this by creating a safe, nurturing environment as part of our integrated wellbeing program; delivering a relevant, rigorous curriculum that caters for diverse needs; and providing pathway choice. Our commitment to effective innovation and encouraging internationalisation – a global outlook, is also in our DNA. In combination, these intentional strategies foster each child’s positive schooling experience and their growing sense of personal fulfilment. At Heathmont College, acquiring knowledge and exercising know- how underpins learning because it facilitates the process of knowing to growing; of transferring learning to different situations and contexts. This is what gives our students an edge and makes our College a very exciting place to be. Our program planning ensures that intellectual development is balanced with physical, social, emotional and personal growth. T h e aim of improving each student’s confidence, resilience and sense of self-worth is explicit. We believe it shows in our students’ grit and grace, their ability to rise to high expectations, and their commitment to helping others in need. We love that we’re frequently told by our students and their parents that Heathmont College is a genuinely inclusive, caring community that instils learning with the sense of fun that promotes engagement and empowerment. We put this down to the practice of our values; the trust relationships we develop based on respect for one another. If you’re looking for a school that partners with you to provide an outstanding, well-rounded education that enables students to flourish through every stage of schooling and ultimately as successful global citizens, then this is the school for you. Please don’t take our word for it. We invite you to ask our current and past families about their Heathmont College experiences and urge you to visit us so you can get a feel for our learning community and well-resourced campus for yourself. We know you’ll soon discover why students feel happy here, why they make progress and achieve their potential. We look forward to meeting you and having you join us.
