Department of Education - Victoria

Clyde Secondary College opened in January 2022.  Our current enrolment is 1080 expected to grow substantially.  2026 will see the inclusion of Year 11, with Year 12 commencing in 2027. 

At the heart of Clyde Secondary College is a deep commitment to fostering a warm, inclusive, and respectful school culture for both students and staff. We are dedicated to creating a learning environment built on high expectations and individual care, where every student experiences a rich, diverse, and challenging curriculum while being genuinely valued in a safe, supportive, and nurturing setting.

Our school values reflect our vision of 'Excelling together, valuing the individual' and are embodied in the acronym REACH, Respect, Excellence, Aspiration, Curiosity, and Honesty. These values are not only central to student learning but are the foundation of how our entire community of students, staff, and families interact and grow together.

The College Leadership Team places a strong and active focus on staff wellbeing, recognising that the strength of a school community lies in the health and happiness of its people. We prioritise creating a collegial and positive workplace, where every team member feels supported, respected, and heard. Our culture is built on collaboration, trust, and genuine care, ensuring staff feel empowered in their roles, connected to each other, and sustained through access to ongoing professional development, wellbeing initiatives, and open lines of communication.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and welcoming school, where kindness and approachability underpin all interactions. Whether you're a student, parent, teacher, or member of the broader community, you'll experience a sense of belonging and mutual respect that defines life at Clyde Secondary College.

To complement academic learning, students are offered a broad range of co-curricular opportunities, including performing arts, sports, student leadership development, and community engagement programs. We encourage every student to participate in school life beyond the classroom, helping them grow as confident, capable, and connected citizens.

Our curriculum, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, is both comprehensive and stimulating, including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Languages, Physical Education, Technology, Art, Drama, and ICT. As the College grows, additional subjects such as Music, Food Studies, and advanced options in Literature, Advanced Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Systems will become available. STEM will also be a cornerstone of learning from Year 7 onwards, helping students build essential skills for future success.

We also offer a Select Entry High Achiever Program, designed to extend and support high-performing students through enrichment and acceleration opportunities leading into VCE.

As a supported inclusion school, Clyde Secondary College has been purposefully designed to welcome and meet the needs of students with disabilities, offering enhanced learning spaces and inclusive facilities that promote dignity, engagement, and success for all learners.

Clyde Secondary College is more than a place of learning, it's a caring and vibrant community where everyone is supported to thrive.
