Join us in 2027: VCE English Teacher in Wyndham

Manor Lakes P-12 College opened in 2009 and is located in Minindee Rd, Wyndham Vale. The college currently has an enrolment of 3000 students, which is expected to stabilise and possibly decline in the primary years while continuing to increase at the secondary level. The backgrounds of our students reflect a cultural and socio-economic diversity, with approximately 16% coming from a language background other than English.

We aspire to create a vibrant and harmonious community of learners who have a confident belief in their ability to learn, grow and succeed.

The College aims for an inclusive and welcoming culture for all families and students within our Designated Neighbourhood Area. We have established programs and structures to provide appropriate learning environments for all students, including those with additional learning needs and disabilities. Our focus is on continuous improvement in all aspects of College life, particularly improving learning outcomes for all students.

All staff are members of Professional Learning Teams and School Improvement Teams, using data and evidence to identify areas for improvement and work towards achieving goals set out in the college's Strategic Plan. New staff participate in a comprehensive induction program outlining the college vision, expectations, and pedagogical approaches. Regular communication with the community is maintained through various channels.

Our staff are committed to enhancing their skills and developing their capacity as teachers through professional learning opportunities, coaching, mentoring, and active involvement in Professional Learning Teams.
