Well Taught
How are students
More Than Grades
At ACC Echuca, being well taught is about building deep, lasting learning—not just aiming for test results. We teach using a proven approach called Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI), which breaks concepts down into manageable steps, allowing students to build mastery and confidence over time.
Teaching That Makes a Difference
Whether it’s reading in Prep or problem-solving in Year 10, our teachers carefully plan each lesson so that every student can stay engaged, understand what’s being taught, and feel successful in their progress. This approach benefits all learners—whether they’re naturally academic, more hands-on, or still building confidence. Our goal is to see every student thrive in their learning.
Forming Character as Well as Knowledge
Being well taught goes beyond academics. It’s also about shaping character. At ACC Echuca, Christian values like humility, perseverance, and respect are woven through our curriculum. We care as much about who students become as we do about what they know.
