Academic Excellence
Wantirna College provides more than 30 VCE subjects students can choose for their university entrance exam in Australia. This gives student the opportunity to study areas of their interest and maximize their strengths. At the same time, extra-curricular activities such as debating, art club, music club, school production, camp, peer support and school captaincy truly enrich their experience outside of the classroom and provide leadership opportunities at the school.
We understand the importance of keeping parents informed about their child’s progress, especially for the parents of international students. We set up individual accounts for parents so that you can follow and review academic progress of your child on our Learning and Management system, Compass. You will be able to access child’s attendance, classroom behaviour, assessment tasks, teacher comments and also any major school events on any computer or mobile device. Our International Student Program team will also provide you with a school report each term and contact you individually to discuss the needs of your child.
