We grow through connection

Thinking about a secondary school enrolment for 2023? The new Principal of Pakenham Secondary College, Mr Aaron Smith, invites you to consider Pakenham Secondary College for your child next year and beyond.

“Our excellent reputation in the local community in best supporting our students with their learning and wellbeing continues to grow – we are a school that is ‘on the move’,” Mr Smith said.

“We have made a number of changes in 2022 which will further benefit our students moving forward’.

“Our new College Motto, ‘We Grow Through Connection’ will best support our College Community in the years to come.

“Growth and improvement are linked to the positive relationships and connections we have with others. At Pakenham Secondary College, ‘We Grow Through Connection’, valuing the strong sense of community and teamwork that exists between students, families and staff’.

“Our new Motto aligns well with our SOAR Values of Social and Personal Responsibility, Opportunities for All, Achieving Personal Best and Respectful Relationships.”

At Pakenham Secondary College, we are committed to positive relationships. We understand that student growth is linked to the positive and meaningful connections they have with others. As a College, we are dedicated to further improving the learning and wellbeing outcomes of all of our students by building respectful, positive and productive connections with our College Community.

Pakenham Secondary College strives to provide opportunities in areas important to our College Community – Growth in Learning and Wellbeing, Sport, the Performing Arts, Student Leadership and Our Community. With a hardworking and dedicated staff, we are committed to working with our families to provide as many opportunities as we can for our students in these important areas of the College. Importantly, our students are achieving some great results. In 2022, our VCE Overall Study Score increased, and many of our NAPLAN results improved. Many of our student survey results reflect that students are positive about their experiences at Pakenham Secondary College.

With a rich 50-year history in our region, we are well placed to offer a personalised approach to teaching and learning ensuring that we work with all of our students to tailor individualised pathways that are important to them. We provide outstanding opportunities for our students in the classroom and as part of our co-curricular program.

“I welcome families to the Pakenham Secondary College Community. I very much look forward to showing prospective families around our great school as part of a College Tour,” Mr Smith said.
