Introducing High School in 2027
Looking toward the future, ACC Swan Hill is excited to welcome our first High School students from 2027. This milestone reflects our commitment to providing a continuous, caring, and community-minded learning journey for local families.
In 2027, we will commence our secondary program with students in Years 7 to 9, thoughtfully designed to support them through these important early secondary years.
As with every stage of schooling at ACC Swan Hill, our High School program will nurture the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Through both classroom learning and co-curricular opportunities, students will be supported to discover their strengths and flourish.
We’re excited to grow with our community and look forward to the new possibilities that High School will bring.
Growing in Community
The secondary years are a time of significant change in how students learn, think, and understand their place in the world.
Imagine a high school where your child is not just another face in the crowd, but is truly known and valued.
At ACC Swan Hill, we are building a High School where students are supported through these formative years in a supportive environment. Teachers know their strengths, support their challenges, and encourage their God-given potential.
We work closely with families, providing clear guidance, genuine care, and a safe learning environment grounded in faith and strong relationships.
At ACC Swan Hill, we are intentional about creating a calm, orderly, and respectful learning environment where students can feel safe and ready to learn. Clear expectations, consistent routines, and strong relationships between staff and students help foster a culture where learning is valued and every student can participate with confidence.
Learning with Purpose
Our approach to education is grounded in Christian faith, with a focus on developing students of character, purpose, and integrity. We want to see young people equipped to live with wisdom, serve with compassion, and lead with integrity.
Students engage in rich learning across the eight Key Learning Areas:
- English
- Mathematics
- Science
- Humanities
- Physical Education
- Art
- Music
- LOTE
- Bible
Learning extends beyond the classroom through meaningful, hands-on experiences, including:
- A Home Economics program that builds independence and practical life skills
- The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program, where students grow, harvest, cook, and share food
- Opportunities for community service, encouraging students to serve others with care and humility
Looking Ahead
with Confidence
From 2027, students will be able to begin their secondary journey at ACC Swan Hill, starting with Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9, and expanding into additional year levels in the years that follow.
As our secondary school grows, students will gain access to an expanding and future-focused learning program. Our long-term pathway leads through to the VCE and VCE Vocational Major, building on the established experience of the ACC Victoria group of schools.
Students will also benefit from an online curriculum platform, providing access to specialist subjects and broader learning opportunities as they progress. Over time, this will create a rich, flexible, and connected secondary experience.
As a growing school, students will also have unique opportunities to lead, contribute, and shape the culture of the College.
A Strong Foundation for the Future
At ACC Swan Hill High School, our vision is expressed in the way we support students through these formative years – grounding them in a Biblical foundation, nurturing their faith, and equipping them to pursue the future God has prepared for them.
This is a place where students are genuinely championed, and where we are committed to ensuring they are well known, well loved and well taught.
In these important secondary years, we recognise that students are shaping their identity, their character, and their direction in life. Ours is a community where belonging fosters confidence, and confidence supports growth. We want our students to feel safe, seen and supported, as they are encouraged to grow in character, purpose and faith.
This is more than a school. It is the beginning of something significant.
