LEADERSHIP AT MCCLELLAND

We, the whole school leadership of McClelland College, are immensely proud to represent a community that has flourished remarkably over the past eighteen years. Our journey, deeply rooted in strong community ties, an unwavering commitment to academic brilliance, and a student-first approach, has transformed McClelland into an exceptional institution. Here, academic success and personal growth are intertwined, providing a comprehensive educational experience. Our curriculum and a wide array of extracurricular activities stand out, ensuring every student benefits from an engaging, enriching, and superior education. Our dedicated and expert staff members are committed to preparing students to seize future opportunities with confidence.

At McClelland, we believe education transcends age, embodying capacity and potential. This philosophy enables younger students in Years 8 and 9 to engage with VCE programs, epitomising our ‘Education by Design’ approach.

Our foundational values of ‘Community, Ownership, and Growth’ mirror our ethos, aiming to maximise each student’s learning journey. These principles are not merely for show; they are the bedrock of our operations. Our focus extends beyond academic achievements to encompass a culture of collective effort and diligence, reinforcing our belief that unity and hard work breed extraordinary outcomes.

Warm regards, The McClelland Leadership Team

 

At McClelland, academic achievement and personal development go hand in hand and our academic offerings, as well as extra-curricular activities and opportunities, are second to none. We concentrate on ensuring that every student will receive an engaging, stimulating and high quality education from our highly professional and committed staff, that will prepare them to make the most of their opportunities once they leave school. We understand that education is about capacity and not chronological age, that is why we have students accessing VCE programs in Years 8 and 9. That’s what we mean by ‘Education by Design’.

Our core values of ‘Community, Ownership and Growth’ reflect our philosophy to extend every individual student so that they achieve the best possible learning outcomes from their time at McClelland. These aren’t just empty words we have published on our website; our values guide everything we do. We have not only a strong focus on achievement and excellence but also an underlying ethos that through teamwork and working hard together we can achieve much more.
