The new secondary school will provide education for 2,700 students, with a Neighbourhood and House model delivering an intimate ‘schools within a school’ environment, specialist learning spaces and an Enterprise and Innovation Centre. The student body reflects Greater Shepparton’s diverse population, with a highly valued indigenous  and  multicultural community.  A skilled educational and community leader with a strong emphasis on inclusion, respect and student wellbeing is required to lead the new College.
