Introducing the dynamic P - 12 educational communities of Tallangatta and Corryong. We are a group of 11 school sites who all share a passion for our rural communities and a belief that by working together we can create a seamless education for our students. Our vision is to create a multi-campus seamless P – 12 education community which includes a Middle Years program which is efficient, coherent and continuous – rather than our current program which has an exemplary transition program and some shared programs but is still a “Primary then Secondary” model.
Schools in our cluster include: Bethanga Primary School Corryong College (P-12) Eskdale Primary School Kiewa Valley Primary School Mitta Mitta Primary school Upper Sandy Creek Primary School Talgarno Primary School Tallangatta Primary School Tallangatta Secondary College (host school) Tallangatta Valley Primary school Walwa Primary School The cluster operates as two cells - Tallangatta and Corryong. Because of the huge area our cluster covers and the distances between our schools, we find it more efficient to develop our strategies within the natural affinities of the Tallangatta group of schools (Tallangatta Secondary College with 8 of its feeder primary schools) and Corryong P-12 College with Walwa Primary School. We have two part time educators - Marilyn Chambers,Tallangatta Cell (0.6)and Melanie Seaborn, Corryong Cell (0.4). Melanie and Marilyn communicate regularly and the clusters have an agreement to share their learning. Each cell is implementing different but complementary strategies. Our major strategies are based on the following values: · Success for all in a culture of success · Genuine sharing of resources – personnel, physical and financial · The holistic journey of the child · The importance of preparing students for their place in the global community It is our goal that students in our cluster will have the skills and attitudes of enterprise in its widest sense. What does an enterprising student look like? An enterprising student will be able to: · Generate and use creative ideas and processes · Identify, create, assess and take advantage of opportunities · Transfer Learning to new situations · Use initiative· Identify, assess and manage tasks · Gather and manage resources · Recognise and match personal strengths and weaknesses to tasks · Respond to, manage and benefit from change · Monitor and evaluate his/her own and others’ performances · Communicate and influence others with ideas and information · Collect, analyses and organise information · Plan and organise activities · Work with others in teams · Use mathematical ideas and techniques · Solve problems · Use technology effectively and efficiently · Manage time · Understand, value and accept cultural diversity · Make positive contributions within the school and wider community · Continuously improve all aspects of life and work Please look further into this site to discover what we do. |

Our cluster submission was developed within the framework of the principles and practices of continuous improvement of quality. We are continuously learning through this philosophical and practical approach. Corryong Cell has revisited their training under the guidance of Rob Palmer for 2003 - 2005. These links will be useful in finding more information.
Corryong Cell has embarked on this two year professional development program with Joan Dalton and David Anderson. This complements their commitment to revisiting Quality training with Rob Palmer. These two learnings provide an all-encompassing approach to school improvement.

Student projects across the cluster and in the community A key strategy involves connecting students across year levels and involving them in community-based projects. This link will take you to a sample of some student projects.
