We have captured what we co nsider im portant at Buckley Park College in our motto, "Build Your Wings". Here is the idea that each student develops and grows intellectually, physically and emotio nally over their time at the school to the point where they can leave the safety of this enviro nment and fly off into the world much like a young bird does in leaving the nest.

Our year 7 – 12, coeducational, single-campus school provides an intimate enviro nment where boys and girls of all ages can learn to live and work together. We value the sense of community among teachers and students alike. Older students provide valuable role models for the younger and, in turn, they learn a bout the respo nsibilities of adulthood and the skills necessary to co ntribute positively to the community and the work place. All learn a bout socially respo nsible and respectful behaviour, a bout courtesy, a bout the way we should treat each other and a bout accepting respo nsibility for one's actions.

The school is known for its nurturing environment. Our experience is that it doesn't take long before students feel co nfident and comfortable at school. This is a very im portant first step.

We also have high expectations of our students' learning. Around those high expectations, we build structure, teaching practice, organisation and procedures. We expect students to take on the challenge of co ntinuously improving upon their learning and participating in the broad range of programs on offer. This is supported by co ntinuous e valuation and improvement of subjects, courses of study and the way in which teaching and learning occurs. The academic achievements of our students are exemplified by their high VCE results and the tertiary, further education and training pathways they take up after graduation.

We value parents' co nnection with the school and there are many opportunities for parents to be involved at a level with which each is comfortable. We expect and value parent support for school programs and policies in helping to maintain a working, productive environment.

The potential, creativity and spirit of our young people co ntinues to be an inspiration and a source of co nfidence in the future. Their commitment to achieving high academic results while being fine citizens of the school community, the support of parents and the talents and dedication of our staff make Buckley Park College a great place to come to every day.

Internatio nal Students

Homestay

Internatio nal students live in home stay accommodation organised through the school or with a relative. Most home stay providers live locally.
