Welcome to Vermont Secondary College

We are a high-performing neighbourhood state secondary school with a long tradition of strong relationships, inclusive values and academic excellence. We serve a community of approximately 1,700 students and 1,300 families, supported by highly skilled teaching and education support staff.

Our diverse school community reflects the richness of contemporary Australia. We are committed to providing every student with a high-quality education that prepares them to participate confidently in life beyond school and to make positive contributions to the broader community.

Our learning environment supports students to develop personal integrity, build respectful and caring relationships, and strive for personal excellence. This is evident in our consistently strong outcomes, including high performance in the VCE and VCE Vocational Major programs.

Success at Vermont Secondary College is built on strong partnerships between students, parents and staff, characterised by trust, respect and mutual support. We are incredibly proud of the culture, relationships and values that underpin our school.

We look forward to welcoming you to our community.

Acknowledgement of Country

Wominjeka, And Burndap Yaalingbu. Welcome and Hello to Vermont Secondary College.

We acknowledge and respect the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the land our school occupies and that we meet, learn, work, and excel on today.

As members of the Vermont Secondary College community, we lift up our eyes to:

Mount Stirling of Yowung-Illam Balug people on Taungurung Land.

Mount Hotham of Gunaikurnai, Dhudhuroa and Jaithmathang people on Gunaikurnai and Taungurung Land.

Mount Macedon of Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people on Taungurung Land.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present; and extend our respects to any of our First Nations Students and their Families joining us today.

We acknowledge the importance of the flora and fauna that grows and flourishes on Wurundjeri Woiwurrung land, from the rainbow lorikeets chattering above us in the branches of a gum tree, to the nodding greenhood orchid lying dormant amongst its roots.

We offer our thanks to those whose knowledge and wisdom of Country has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practices, and who have taken care of this country that we have the great privilege to learn and work on.

Always was, Always will be Aboriginal land.
