Text Box: Principal's Report East Loddon P-12 College is a very successful and well established school of approximately 220 students. It serves the towns of Dingee, Mitiamo, Raywood, Serpentine and surrounding areas. The location of the College provides a spacious and healthy environment with nearly all students travelling to school by bus. The College has a range of modern facilities which are shared with the community. This has established the College as a central hub within the district. The surrounding community is reliant on rural industries and has contracted due to the effects of rural demographics and prolonged drought. The College is uniquely positioned to provide support to families who may be isolated from a range of service providers. The community is also very supportive of the College with parents regularly involved in the curriculum and daily operations. Financial and in kind support is received from a range of groups and organisations. The College has an experienced staff of teachers and school support officers who have come to know the students and their families well. The P-12 nature of the College allows students to move through their education in a caring and supportive environment. The small class sizes and co-operative relationships between teachers and students have resulted in consistently high standards of learning and achievement at all levels. The College offers a broad curriculum with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy. Many extra curricular activities enhance the program including career planning, student exchanges, cultural, sporting and social events as well as Information and Communications Technology as a learning tool. Special funding opportunities ensure that students are supported to engage in all aspects of the program. The College faces the challenges of maintaining and enhancing the curriculum that is offered in order to meet the needs of the rural student. The importance of the concepts of learning and education for all young people are promoted at all year levels. We continue to strive to create a variety of educational opportunities and to maximise the many benefits available to students through a seamless P-12 education.
