Secondary Years

Years 7-12

Growing into Young Adults

The Secondary Years build on the strong foundation established in Primary, offering more engaging and dynamic learning experiences.

At Wollondilly Anglican College, our specialist teachers are dedicated to nurturing each student as an individual, encouraging them to reach their God-given potential. The Secondary Years Program challenges students to think deeply about the world around them and empowers them to be ethical, value-driven contributors. Through the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, students are equipped to respond to challenges with confidence and insight.

A Wollondilly education is more than just academic growth – it’s about giving students purpose, helping them thrive in society with empathy, care, and the skills needed to make a positive impact in the world.

Our Culture of Learning

Learning at Wollondilly seeks to answer the question of who we are and how we can contribute to society in a meaningful and purposeful way.

Students are challenged to pursue knowledge and appreciate the gift of learning in God’s world. Academic excellence is a distinctive feature of the College and students are encouraged to pursue their personal best through an engaging curriculum. Our aim is to inspire motivated learners. Self-regulation is highly valued and students are encouraged to work alongside staff and peers to develop responsibility for their own learning. There is a strong culture in which students celebrate their own and other people’s success.

Beyond The Classroom

Beyond the classroom, there are numerous co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for students to grow while developing their passions, skills and character.

Some of these opportunities include Debating and Public Speaking, Tournament of Minds, external competitions, overseas tours, Streamwatch, Crystal Growing and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.

Student Leaders

Student Leadership at WAC is focused on a servant leadership model.

Students complete a nomination for the Captain roles. Student involvement in all areas of the College is reviewed as part of the process. The involvement of students in Community Service activities and College Events is highly regarded.

A vote that encompasses their direct peer group, wider peer group and the staff of the College is used as the process for electing the Captains.

Future Focused – Digital Citizens

A future-focused approach to learning in the Secondary Years is making learning visible to the students so they can construct meaning from their learning. The current generation of students are often considered digital natives. Teachers at Wollondilly recognise this, and through the ‘MyTech’ (1:1 Device) program, have carefully incorporated technological pedagogies to enhance learning and develop digital citizenship.
